Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) accommodates up to 10,000 guests for large-scale convention and exhibition formats across its combined indoor halls. The venue spans over 33,000 square metres of total exhibition and event space, making it one of Ho Chi Minh City's largest convention and exhibition facilities. Planners can explore verified capacity configurations directly on the Spalba listing.
SECC operates multiple dedicated halls including Hall A, Hall B, Hall C, and Hall D, each configurable for theatre, banquet, and exhibition formats. Individual hall capacities range from several hundred to several thousand seats depending on setup. Halls can be used independently or combined for multi-hall events. Consult the Spalba listing for current hall-by-hall capacity breakdowns and floor plan details.
SECC features outdoor areas and open forecourt spaces that can be activated for product launches, outdoor exhibitions, networking receptions, and gala evenings. These open zones complement the indoor halls and are particularly suited to large-attendance activations. Availability and setup options for outdoor spaces can be confirmed directly through an enquiry submitted via the Spalba platform.
Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center supports both in-house catering arrangements and approved external catering vendors for corporate MICE events, product launches, and large banquets. The venue accommodates Vietnamese, Asian, and international cuisine formats suited to diverse delegate groups. Alcohol service is available subject to event type and organiser arrangements. Planners can confirm the current catering policy and approved vendor list through Spalba enquiry.
SECC is equipped with professional audio-visual infrastructure including large-format LED display systems, PA systems, and projector setups across its convention halls. High-speed internet connectivity supports exhibitor and delegate requirements for trade shows and conferences. An on-site technical crew is available to support event production. Specific AV package details and technical specifications can be obtained through the Spalba enquiry channel.
Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center is a dedicated convention and exhibition venue and does not offer on-site guest rooms. However, District 7 and the surrounding Phu My Hung area host a strong selection of hotels at various price points within short driving distance of SECC, making it convenient for multi-day conference delegates. Planners can factor accommodation sourcing into their enquiry notes on Spalba.
SECC in Tan Phu, District 7 is approximately 15 to 20 kilometres from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, with travel times typically ranging from 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic conditions. The venue's location in Ho Chi Minh City's planned Phu My Hung township makes it accessible via major arterial roads. Planners coordinating outstation delegate transfers can note this distance when building event logistics.
Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center provides on-site vehicle parking to accommodate exhibitors, delegates, and event visitors, which is a key logistical advantage for large trade shows and congresses in Ho Chi Minh City. Both car and motorbike parking areas are available. Specific parking capacity and any vehicular access restrictions for large exhibition builds can be confirmed through the venue directly via a Spalba enquiry.
SECC's large-format convention facility is designed to accommodate high volumes of visitors and includes ground-level hall access across its primary exhibition spaces, which supports mobility for differently-abled guests. Planners with specific accessibility requirements for delegates or speakers are encouraged to detail those needs when submitting an enquiry through Spalba to confirm ramp access, accessible restrooms, and dedicated assistance arrangements.
SECC is Ho Chi Minh City's premier large-scale exhibition and convention venue, and its halls are in high demand particularly from October through March, which aligns with Vietnam's peak MICE season. For flagship trade shows, international congresses, or multi-hall corporate events, planners are strongly advised to secure dates at least six to twelve months in advance. Submitting an early availability enquiry through Spalba is the recommended first step.
Once a planner submits an enquiry for Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center via Spalba, the platform routes the request to the venue's event sales team. Planners typically receive a response with availability confirmation, preliminary pricing, and event package options. Spalba's direct enquiry system removes intermediaries, giving corporate bookers and exhibition organisers faster access to verified venue responses compared to generic contact forms.
As a professionally managed large convention facility operating within Vietnam's commercial regulatory framework, SECC issues formal VAT-compliant invoices for event hire, services, and ancillary costs, which is essential for corporate clients requiring tax documentation. International companies and multinational event organisers should confirm specific billing and VAT invoice requirements directly with the venue through the Spalba enquiry process to ensure compliance.
SECC supports large-scale social events including gala dinners, corporate award ceremonies, and high-attendance banquets that exceed the capacity of traditional banquet halls in Ho Chi Minh City. Its flexible hall configurations allow custom decor installations, themed setups, and multi-zone event designs suited to premium social occasions. Planners considering SECC for weddings or galas can explore space options and request a site visit through Spalba.
Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center has an experienced event management team that supports international Professional Conference Organisers and MICE planners through site inspection, floor plan consultation, vendor coordination, and on-ground event management. This support is particularly valuable for overseas organisers unfamiliar with Ho Chi Minh City's supplier ecosystem. Planners can initiate coordination discussions by submitting a detailed event brief through the Spalba listing.
SECC is engineered for complex exhibition logistics, offering high floor-load capacity, wide loading bay access, and sufficient lead time for exhibitor build-up and breakdown periods prior to and following multi-day trade shows. These operational specifications make it the facility of choice for large international trade exhibitions in southern Vietnam. Detailed technical specifications for exhibitor builds are available from the venue team via a Spalba enquiry.
