What is unique about Eikon ?
Shona Ayre ( pictured left ), sales and business development executive : The main selling points for the Eikon is that it is Northern Ireland ’ s largest and only campus for large scale events , situated within a key point in the transport infrastructure of the island of Ireland . We are within a 90-minute drive of four million people , and within a 30-minute drive of 70 % of Northern Ireland ’ s population . We moved premises from the former King ’ s Hall Complex in Belfast to the purpose-built Eikon Exhibition Centre in 2015 , and with us we brought years of large-scale event experience – knowing what worked , and what didn ’ t work . The team incorporated this knowledge into the physical design of the venue and the operational design , to ensure that it meets the requirements of our organisers .
