The
Cancun Convention & Visitors Bureau is proud to announce the
destination’s newest exhibition space.
With
242,000 sq. ft. of indoor surface space that can accommodate more
than 15,000 guests, Lakam Center is considered one of the largest
meeting venues in Latin America and the biggest in Cancun. The venue
completed a six month renovation in December 2012 that included new
electrical cables, updated A/C installations and remodeled bathrooms.
This
exhibition center is located at the 329.5 km mark on the Cancun—Playa
del Carmen Highway, a short drive from the Cancun International
Airport and 15 minutes from Cancun’s famous Hotel Zone. This new
space offers four modern and versatile buildings that are suitable
for large conventions, congresses, sporting events, musical shows and
cultural events of international importance. The facility is one of a
few Cancun venues able to host large-scale, high-impact events like
the upcoming Flight Center Global Gathering Conference on July 11-15.
This
high-tech establishment will only add to Cancun’s already unique
and extensive meetings and convention spaces that range from Cancun
Center’s more than 700,000 sq. ft. of meeting space to some of the
destination’s top resorts. With 145 world-class hotels, which
include four AAA Five Diamond Award winning properties, Cancun can
easily accommodate thousands of guests at a time with more than
34,000 hotel rooms available.
The
Exhibition center offers parking for 50 trucks and more than 500
vehicles as well as an extensive area for outdoor events. This
building was designed to withstand strong hurricane winds, has a
sophisticated fire prevention system, private security system and
more.
Cancun
will be hosting a number of world congresses this year that vary from
the Annual Mexico Showcase and Travel Expo on April 12 to the
International Congress of Developmental Biology on June 17. Cancun
continues to improve its offerings year by year and has proved to be
a top destination for world leaders, meetings and conventions.
