Congress Venue

The architectural marvel houses the works of various Filipino master artists in painting and sculpture, and is even regarded as a work of art in itself—one of the country's prime examples of brutalist architecture.

Throughout the years, the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) has hosted countless notable and prestigious events such as the Miss Universe Pageant, World Bank's International Monetary Fund Annual Meeting, the APEC Summit, ASEAN Summit, APSR Congress, The Union Asia Pacific Region, just to name a few.

Today, it continues to be the preferred venue for large-scale events and intimate gatherings alike, from political summits, conventions, and concerts, to milestone celebrations like graduations, weddings, and anniversaries. As Manila's premiere event venue, the PICC is not only a heritage building and architectural icon but also a repository of masterpieces from some of the most prominent Filipino artists. The massive complex is located along the scenic Manila Bay, spanning more than 70,000 square meters of floor area. It is comprised of five (5) building modules—the Delegation Building, Secretariat Building, Plenary Hall, Reception Hall, and The Forum. Each structure can be transformed into the perfect setting for any event. The Center is well-secured round the clock. It has ample parking spaces within and around its vicinity.

It has a medical clinic, nursing station, and ATMs, and is equipped with ramps and elevators for the physically challenged. It adapts environmental programs such as energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, and other environmental practices in air quality, buildings & lawns, food & beverage services, transportation, general office procedures, communications, training & capability building, and purchasing & contract compliance. PICC continuously evaluates existing practices and looks for new and better alternatives that support sustainability and lessen environmental impact.
