- Incubating Innovation
- This is Our Story
Meetings, conferences, events and exhibitions in all their forms are ultimately to serve only one common function. To bring people together, encourage conversation and create connections. Connections that will allow people to create ideas, share thoughts and collaborate.
| As organizations around the world seek to be more innovative, and compete more and more on creativity, we approached the question of innovation from a totally unique perspective. Instead of exploring the capacity of an individual alone or in group to innovate, we try instead to identify the spaces that have historically led to unusual rates of creativity and innovation. Places such as the Coffee Houses during the age of enlightenment or the Salons of modernism. Spaces where minds serendipitously come together connect and produce great ideas. And with this in mind, we would like to introduce Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, the unique convention centre. A space created among the tranquility of the tropical rainforest where any distractions that will take focus away from simply being innovative are kept at a distance but yet still easily accessible. | Being secluded however does not mean disconnection. The centre is equipped with the latest in communication technologies with wireless internet enveloping the whole area, cutting ledge LAN infrastructure and the latest in Audio/Visual technology to ensure any and all collaboration that happens inside, are widely visible outside. All this to realise the belief we have that collaborative innovation can be at its peak if held in the correct environment. Every part of BCCK is designed to be an environment for the inquisitive. An environment that encourages people to think broadly and generally about challenges and one in which participants can feel free to follow their curiosity. Equally important, it seeks to be an environment where people can connect with each other. |

- What does our CEO have to say...

Chief Executive Officer
Selamat Menunaikan Ibadah Puasa / Happy Blessed Ramadhan!
With 2013 already well underway BCCK has hosted over 170 events. These have ranged from small dinners and meetings to major gatherings of more than 5,000 people.
We are currently setting up the great hall for our very popular Ramadhan Buffet which will commence on Friday 12 July. Last year almost 10,000 people enjoyed the sumptuous offerings and this year we are hoping that many more will come and experience what BCCK has to offer, especially as it is now easier than ever to get to BCCK. Four major road infrastructure projects have recently been completed which have dramatically improved access to BCCK cutting the time required to drive form the City by at least 10 minutes. In addition to this the river Jetty has been completed and by September the new water Taxi/Ferry service will be operating form the Kuching Waterfront offering yet another mode of transport to the Centre.
The month of May saw us attend the IMEX trade show in Frankfurt and was also our opportunity to present our Bid to host the 55th congress of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) and we are delighted to announce that Kuching won the bid against a very strong proposal from Prague in the Czech Republic. The bid was truly a team effort with support from players across all facets of the Malaysian Business Tourism industry and State and Federal Governments. The event will be held at BCCK from 12 to 16 November 2016 and is expected to attract over 700 delegates.
In June we opened our Raintree Café in The Plaza Medeka shopping mall bringing BCCK to the city and offering great coffee, donuts and other BCCK favourites such as Shawarma, sandwiches and pies.
As we move into the second half of the year, we look forward to welcoming back our regular and loyal exhibitors SARBEX 2013, Sarawak ICT Expo 2013, and extend a warm welcome back to the second Perfect Livin’ exhibition , a showcase of Home technologies and products for a heightened home-ownership and lifestyle experience.
We also welcome back the SSPCA WAG music festival.
The first half of 2014 will see BCCK host 2 important tourism related conferences being The Asean Tourism Forum in January and Routes Asia in March.
Do keep a lookout for all these great events on our website, BCCK Facebook and in the local newspapers. Book your events with us and let BCCK take care of “Your Events, the Borneo Way”.
