News this week: The refurbished sPICE venue in Penang has been operating as an
exhibition hall despite the fact that construction continues on some of the
facilities. Formerly known as the Penang International Sports Arena (PISA), it
is now known as the Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre (sPICE).
The SPICE venue is managed by S P Setia Berhap Group and it
currently offers 3,100 m2 of exhibition space. The completed complex
will offer convention space, retail shops, restaurants and hotels.
Kheng Ho Yeoh, senior manager of sPICE, commented, “sPICE
Convention Centre is the main convention and exhibition hall, spanning 4,500 m2 and able to accommodate 450
banquet tables, 260 exhibition booths and 8,000 people for theatre style
seating… The completion of the main Spice Convention Centre is estimated to be
in the third quarter of 2016, followed by the business-class hotel a year later.”
