A premium, purpose-built international conference centre in Lungi — created to host the summits, congresses and celebrations that shape the region's future.
The Julius Maada Bio International Conference Centre brings summit-grade infrastructure to West Africa's Atlantic coast. Purpose-built beside Freetown International Airport, it was conceived as a single, flexible home for the events that bring the world to Sierra Leone.
Its spaces are designed to reconfigure quickly — grandstands retract, ballrooms partition, foyers absorb overflow — so one building can host a head-of-state summit one week and an international exhibition the next.
From the round-table Presidential Hall for high-level diplomacy to a 1,100 m² Events Hall, a Banquet Hall for gala dinners, executive lounges and adaptable meeting rooms — every gathering finds its stage, supported by a resident operations team from first enquiry to final farewell.
Four things make hosting here different — for heads of state and event planners alike.
Engineered ground-up for international events — not a hall retrofitted, but a centre designed around summits, congresses and galas.
Retractable grandstands, divisible halls and modular layouts reshape the same spaces for 40 delegates or 1,400.
Right next to Freetown International Airport, with the city centre just across the estuary — delegates land and are on-site in minutes.
One operations team runs catering, staging, security, connectivity and protocol — organisers manage one relationship, not ten.
Beyond the events themselves, the centre is built to leave something lasting — jobs and skills for the local community, a showcase for Sierra Leonean hospitality, and a front door for investment and diplomacy.
We design with efficiency in mind and partner with local suppliers wherever we can, so every congress, fair and celebration hosted here contributes to the region it stands in.
