Construction of the center started in March 2016 and was completed ahead of schedule after 22 months.
Covering an area of 12,000sq.m, the Ariyana center is connected with the Furama Da Nang International Convention Palace. It is the largest conference and workshop complex in Vietnam, accommodating up to 5,000 seats and 15 functional rooms, with a grand ballroom alone offering 2,500 seats.
The two centers will be the hosting venues for most of the events held within the framework of the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week 2017, including the APEC CEO Summit.
Leaders from 21 APEC member economies, together with around 10,000 domestic and foreign delegates, including corporate executives in the region and the world, are expected to attend events during the week.
