- 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...
Paul D'Arcy
Chief Executive Officer
A warm welcome and a Happy and Prosperous 2013 from all of us at BCCK.
In early 2012, we promised more innovative products and solutions for our clients and to provide additional information on our new website as we go along – about BCCK, and what Kuching and Sarawak can offer to local, regional and international visitors. And we are happy to say that we have delivered.The past year has seen us host a wide range of events including some major international ones such as The 2012 Commonwealth Dental Association, The 9th World Congress of Chinese Medicine, and International Energy Week 2012, The 14th Asia Pacific Congress of Pediatrics & 4th Asia Pacific Congress of Pediatric Nursing and The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists International Scientific Meeting 2012, to name a few. We also had the opportunity to work with local organisers to give their established events a greater presence and these included The Borneo Post International Education Fair (BPIEF) 2012, Sarawak Builders Expo (SARBEX) 2012, Sarawak ICT Expo 2012 and Building Trade Show (BTS) 2012.We greatly appreciate all the support extended by our Board, industry partners and clients which made it possible for us to successfully play our role as an internationally recognised MICE destination.
2013 looks set to be another great year with the upcoming, exciting events and things coming our way at The Isthmus, the green central business district of Kuching which BCCK is proud to call home. As our 169-member strong team makes preparations to welcome major events such as The 2013 International Hydropower Association World Congress, The 9th Congress of the Asian Society for Paediatric Research, The 12th Asian and Oceanic Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine Congress, and The 8th International Symposium on Digital Earth 2013, important developments are taking place at The Isthmus.
A new bridge having just been completed, the Isthmus is enjoying easier access from the city and will soon enjoy extra connectivity with the completion of a new river taxi jetty located close to BCCK. Water taxis will be a regular riverine feature at The Isthmus in the near future, cruising the Sarawak River to bring business event delegates and visitors to BCCK.
We are growing – look out for BCCK’s Raintree Café, an extension of our Raintree Restaurant, in Plaza Merdeka in 2013! Pastry lovers will soon be able to enjoy our wide selection of freshly baked pies, quiches, croissants, bread and sandwiches, and also great coffees and tea in the heart of historical Kuching.
We also look forward to having our regular, loyal exhibitors back here, exhibitors who have made a name for themselves in Sarawak – The Borneo Post International Education Fair (BPIEF) 2013, Sarawak Builders Expo (SARBEX) 2013, PIKOM PC Fair 2013, Sarawak ICT Expo 2013, Building Trade Show (BTS) 2013 and Asia Infrastructure 2013; and extend a warm welcome to new exhibition Perfect Living, a showcase of Home technologies and products for a heightened home-ownership and lifestyle experience.
Good food awaits at the Raintree Restaurant as our culinary team eagerly waits to share with everyone their delightful creations, improved festive buffet spreads for the Chinese New Year, Ramadan, Christmas and also our weekly evening buffet which has moved from Wednesday to Friday as well as our fine dining menu.
Our very own in-house events such as the successful 2012 Halloween party will be making a comeback in 2013 and more colourful in-house events are in the pipeline, in the capable hands of our event planners as well as audio-visual and lighting experts.
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”.
