Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, 17/6, Madanayakahalli, Bengaluru, Karnataka 562162, India
Covering over 44,000 square metres of built-up exhibition and convention space across a 106-acre campus, BIEC stands as one of South India's largest purpose-built event infrastructure facilities — a distinction that shapes every booking decision made here. The Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, operational since 2002 and developed under a public-private partnership, has hosted trade fairs, national-level expos, and multi-day international conventions that routinely draw thousands of delegates from across the country and abroad. Its scale, dedicated infrastructure, and location within Bengaluru's growing northwest industrial and commercial corridor make it a primary reference point for MICE planners sourcing large-format event space in Karnataka.
The facility comprises multiple halls spanning the full campus, with the main exhibition halls offering column-free interiors suited to large-scale trade shows, product showcases, and exhibition stalls in both shell scheme and space-only configurations. Dedicated conference and convention halls support plenary sessions, symposia, and multi-track conference formats. The open exhibition grounds extend the usable event footprint further, accommodating outdoor pavilions, vehicle displays, and large-scale activation setups. For MICE planners working on complex floor plans, the combination of indoor and outdoor zones on a single property simplifies logistics significantly and reduces the vendor coordination overhead typical of city-centre multi-venue arrangements.
BIEC has established its primary hosting record across two distinct event types. For trade and consumer exhibitions — including recurring national-level expos across sectors such as manufacturing, retail, construction, and agriculture — the column-free hall configurations allow exhibitor layouts at scale that most hotel ballrooms or standalone banquet facilities in Bengaluru cannot accommodate. For corporate conferences and convention-format events, the enclosed air-conditioned halls provide a controlled environment suitable for multi-day programming with separate breakout zones. Planners should note that BIEC operates primarily as a venue infrastructure provider; catering, AV production, and event services are typically sourced through approved or independently selected external vendors, which means end-to-end coordination sits with the organising team rather than a built-in hospitality service model.
Situated at Madanayakahalli off Tumkur Road, BIEC benefits from direct access to NH 48, placing it within reach of both Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport and the city's western industrial zones — a practical advantage for events with heavy freight movement, machinery installations, or attendees arriving from North Bengaluru. The campus accommodates large vehicle access for exhibition cargo, and ample surface parking across the grounds supports high-footfall event days. The Peenya industrial cluster nearby means vendor sourcing for fabrication and logistics is geographically concentrated, which experienced exhibition planners find operationally efficient for tight build-up and breakdown schedules.
For event planners evaluating BIEC through Spalba, the listing provides direct access to space specifications, hall configurations, and availability details that support early-stage RFP preparation. Given the scale of the facility and the infrastructure-only service model, early engagement with the venue operations team — facilitated through the Spalba inquiry workflow — allows planners to align hall allocation, logistics access timings, and any co-organiser requirements well in advance. For large-format exhibitions, multi-day conventions, or national trade events requiring a dedicated, purpose-built campus in Bengaluru, BIEC remains one of the few facilities in Karnataka with the raw square footage and open ground to deliver at that level.

BIEC spans over 65,000 square metres of covered exhibition space across 10 interconnected halls, making it one of India's largest convention and exhibition venues. For large-scale trade shows and conferences, the combined capacity runs into tens of thousands of attendees.

BIEC comprises 10 exhibition halls with a total covered area of approximately 65,000 square metres. Individual halls can be booked independently or combined for larger formats. The halls support theatre, banquet, and trade-show floor-plan setups. Specific per-hall dimensions and PAX configurations are available through the Spalba listing, where planners can compare spaces and raise a direct venue enquiry.
BIEC features substantial open ground areas surrounding the main exhibition pavilions, which have been used for outdoor displays, vehicle launches, and overflow event setups. These outdoor precincts complement the covered halls for large trade fairs and hybrid event formats. Availability and layout options for outdoor zones are best confirmed by submitting an enquiry via the BIEC page on Spalba.
BIEC supports catering through empanelled catering partners who operate across the venue for large-scale exhibition and convention formats. Multi-cuisine menus covering Indian, Continental, and South Indian options are typically arranged for delegates and exhibitors. The venue's food court and catering zones are distributed across the exhibition campus. For confirmed catering partner details and menu customisation, planners can enquire through the Spalba listing for BIEC.
BIEC supports large-format technical requirements including rigging points across hall ceilings, three-phase power supply with high-load capacity, and fibre-optic connectivity infrastructure across the campus. Exhibitors and conference organisers typically bring or hire AV equipment through approved vendors. The venue's technical load capacity and approved vendor list can be obtained by raising an enquiry on Spalba directly from the BIEC property page.
BIEC itself is a standalone exhibition and convention facility without on-site rooms. However, several hotels operate in the Madanayakahalli and Tumkur Road corridor near BIEC, serving outstation delegates and exhibitors. Planners coordinating accommodation blocks for multi-day events can factor in nearby hotel options when building delegate packages. Room-block coordination queries can be logged through the Spalba enquiry system for BIEC.
BIEC is located on Tumkur Road in Madanayakahalli, approximately 35 to 40 kilometres from Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru. The NICE Road and Tumkur Road corridor makes this one of the more accessible exhibition venue routes in Bengaluru for both air travellers and delegates arriving from northern Karnataka. Travel time varies with traffic, and planners should account for peak-hour conditions on this corridor.
The nearest Namma Metro station to BIEC is Peenya Industry on the Green Line, approximately 6 to 8 kilometres from the venue. Auto-rickshaws and app-based cabs bridge the gap from the metro station to the BIEC gate. For large events, organisers often arrange shuttle services from Peenya station and Tumkur Road entry points. Delegate transport planning details can be discussed through the Spalba enquiry channel.
BIEC has one of the largest dedicated parking facilities among Bengaluru convention venues, with capacity for several thousand vehicles spread across surface parking zones around the exhibition campus. This is a significant logistical advantage for trade fairs drawing large visitor footfall. Parking allocation, reserved zones for exhibitors, and overflow arrangements for high-footfall events are managed by the venue operations team and can be discussed via Spalba.
For major trade fairs, industry expos, and large convention formats at this Bengaluru exhibition venue, booking 6 to 12 months in advance is strongly advisable, particularly for Q4 and the January-to-March peak season. Smaller corporate conferences and product launches may secure dates 3 to 4 months ahead depending on availability. Planners can check live availability and initiate a booking enquiry through the BIEC listing on Spalba.
After submitting an enquiry on the BIEC listing at Spalba, the Spalba coordination team connects the planner with the BIEC venue management team, typically within one business day. Planners receive hall availability, technical specifications, and commercial terms for their event dates and format. Spalba's platform supports document sharing and proposal tracking, reducing back-and-forth communication for large, complex event briefs.
BIEC's cancellation and rescheduling terms are governed by the venue's standard event contract, which specifies notice periods and applicable retention charges based on proximity to the event date. Policies vary depending on event scale, booking value, and whether a government or industry body is involved. Planners are advised to review the specific terms at the time of booking confirmation and can raise policy questions through Spalba before committing.
BIEC is primarily a trade, exhibition, and corporate convention facility. While the halls have been used for large-scale social events and community gatherings, the venue is not positioned as a wedding destination. Planners looking for large wedding venues in Bengaluru may find BIEC's scale suitable for very large community events, but dedicated bridal suites and wedding coordination services are not among BIEC's core offerings.
BIEC is among Bengaluru's most capable venues for large MICE events, offering multi-hall configurations, a central convention hall for plenary sessions, separate breakout zones, and an on-campus business centre infrastructure. Multi-day summits, annual general meetings, and industry congresses with 1,000 to 10,000-plus delegates are part of the venue's operational track record. Corporate planners can request a MICE capability document through the Spalba listing page.
BIEC, operated under an institutional framework, issues formal agreements and tax-compliant invoices for all event bookings. Corporate clients requiring GST-registered billing, multi-vendor payment structures, and event-specific cost breakdowns for internal finance approvals can request these at the contracting stage. Planners should confirm GSTIN requirements and billing entity details with the venue team, which can be initiated through the Spalba enquiry process.
