Why it ranks
Penang's main convention centre, opened 2017 and operated by S P Setia under a 30-year concession, with a pillarless ballroom seating up to 8,000 theatre-style.
Best for: Northern-region conferences, dinners and exhibitions too large for Penang hotel ballrooms.
Good to know: Published ballroom size and room counts vary between sources; confirm current specs with the operator.
