Send us the name, dates, venue and a link to your event page — we'll add it after checking the source. Listing is free.
Attending a conference in Penang?
Where to stay, how to get there and where to eat near the two convention centres — the practical bits your delegate pack probably leaves out.
At Setia SPICE (Bayan Lepas)
In the south of the island — the Bayan Lepas district, also home to Penang International Airport.
At PWCC (The Light City, Gelugor)
On the east-coast waterfront between George Town and the Penang Bridge.
Getting there & around
Both centres are on Penang Island. Arrival, airport transfers and getting between hotel and venue.
VisitPenang is an independent guide, not the organiser of these events. For bidding, venue and support enquiries, see the business events hub and the Penang Convention & Exhibition Bureau.
