SECC has built an enviable reputation for successfully staging all kinds of local, national and international scale events based on the outstanding technical support and the availability of superb space.
Clyde Auditorium
The Clyde Auditorium, created by world-renowned architects Foster and Partners, was designed from the inside out with the requirements of conference delegates and speakers as the prime consideration. It offers 3,000 seats over three levels yet has the ability to provide an ideal setting for much smaller meetings. It has a substantial stage backed up with breakout rooms, registration area and organisers' offices. Little wonder it has become one of Europe's leading conference venues.
Loch Suite
The Loch Suite is the flexible ‘hub' at the heart of the SECC and it provides a perfect illustration of the adaptability of the whole centre. You can use it as a stand-alone venue in its own right or to provide a seamless link between the Clyde Auditorium and the five exhibition halls.
The Loch Suite gives you the opportunity to stage every kind of event, from an intimate meeting of several people to a bustling seminar or a glitzy product launch. The largest room, the Lomond Auditorium, has tiered and floor level seating for 624. There are six other rooms over two floors, ranging in capacity from 10 to 220.
Seminar suite
The Seminar Suite is on the first floor. It's made up of four rooms. If you wish, three of the rooms can be transformed into one larger area seating 200. This suite is ideal for small meetings, breakout space or catering. It's this kind of scope and flexibility that brings clients back to the SECC time after time.
Exhibition Halls
With direct links to the Clyde Auditorium, the Loch Suite and to the adjacent Crowne Plaza hotel, the exhibition halls offer all kinds of possibilities. From the smallest, Hall 1, which can hold meetings of up to 360 people or provide registration or catering space, to Hall 4, which is able to stage concurrent large scale exhibitions with poster areas and in-hall catering - the possibilities are endless.
Crowne Plaza Hotel
SECC is connected to the adjacent Crowne Plaza hotel at first floor level creating a fully integrated complex and providing a seamless link to a further 15 meeting rooms. The largest, the Argyll Suite, can seat up to 800 theatre style while the Castle Suite can accommodate up to 385.
