 Venues for All Occasions |
Designed to contain the perfect combination of venues, UNCC-AA is capable of hosting meeting of all sizes in equal comfort.
Two main conference halls offer a combined space of 2,200 square meters with a total capacity of nearly 1,300 persons. Located on the same floor, both halls can host completely separate events or be linked electronically for a fully coordinated conference.
Smaller meetings are conveniently accommodated in a choice of four conference rooms, each seating up to 115 persons.
Complementing the conference venues are full support areas, including caucus and briefing rooms, chairperson suites with executive offices and meeting room, business, press and service centres, lounges, reception areas and an exhibition concourse.
| The Technical Advantage |
UNCC-AA employs the latest technology to provide an impressive range of in-house facilities which afford an unbeatable technical advantage.
Both the main conference halls are equipped with a seven-language facility, as well as electronic voting and discussion management systems. In addition, a computerized projection system allows the perfect staging of multi-media presentations. Four conference rooms are similarly well provided with technical systems, including a four-language facility.
Elsewhere in the complex, satellite communications, television and radio studios, recording and monitoring facilities, printing and copying services, an intelligent building system, and more provide the technical back-up so necessary to the successful modern meeting.
| The Large Conference Hall |
The largest of UNCC-AA's two main conference halls is a prestigious venue that matches quality interior design with that essential attention to technical detail which ensures delegates' every need is fully met.

Covering an area of 1,200 square meters, the hall can seat over 800 persons in a configuration that can host 300 heads of delegation of 56 heads of state, as well as 300 other delegates. Additionally there is a rostrum accommodating 28 and a gallery for up to 180 observers.
Technical capability includes floor language plus six-language simultaneous interpretation system, electronic voting and discussion management systems, and film, video, slide and overhead projection.
| Professional Support Facilities |
Complementing the main conference venues are full support areas designed to ensure everyone meets with ease. Three well-appointed briefing rooms are variously configured with desks and seating for between 44 and 64 persons, while ten caucus rooms range in size from 22 to 32 seats.
Auxiliary facilities include two chairperson suites with executive offices and meeting room, conference clients' office space and a 2,100 square-meter exhibition concourse, as well as a fully equipped business centre, plus reception areas and lounges of various sizes for different purposes.
For the convenience of delegates, reception areas and lounges are equipped with closed-circuit televisions to provide audio-visual coverage of the proceedings in all conference halls and rooms. All other areas are on-line through a seven-channel audio monitoring system.
| The Ideal Venue in the Ideal Location |
combining facilities and location, professionalism and style, UNCC-AA is unmatched in Africa. Addis Ababa sits in the centre of international communication nets, with air links to more than 80 cities worldwide. Add to this a healthy mountain climate and warm sunshine and you have one of the world's key meeting places.
Just a 10-minute drive from the airport, UNCC-AA is located close to ministries in the heart of the city's best hotel, restaurant and shopping district, next to the historic Africa Hall and the Offices of United Nations Economic Commissions for Africa, thus forming an integrated complex that is both traditional and up to date. Transportation is facilitated by a shuttle bus service between UNCC-AA and all major hotels. There is also on-site parking for 600 cars, while the whole complex is designed to afford easy access to all. Conference planners can thus be confident of finding everything to suit their individual needs, and delegates can be sure of their event meeting the success it deserves. |
