Borneo Convention Centre Kuching 2 (BCCK 2) – Elevating Sarawak’s Global Event Presence
Slated to open in 2028, The Borneo Convention Centre Kuching 2 (BCCK2) will sit beside the existing centre, linked by a fully air-conditioned bridge and surrounded by the scenic landscape of the Sarawak River. This expansion is designed to meet growing international demand, offering even greater capacity, enhanced flexibility, and a seamless experience for organisers and delegates alike.
