Accessibility
BICC is a government-operated facility in a well-established institutional district of Dhaka; exhibitors should confirm current step-free access and accessible-restroom provisions directly with venue management when booking, as facility upgrades are periodically made. [VERIFY latest accessibility details with the venue before publishing final client-facing guidance.]
Parking
On-site parking is available; capacity is limited during large national events, so early arrival or shuttle coordination is recommended for exhibitor move-in days. [VERIFY current parking capacity with venue management.]
Hotels Nearby
Agargaon and the wider Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area sit close to Dhaka's hotel corridor; several business and mid-range hotels operate within a short drive. [VERIFY specific current hotel partnerships/distances before publishing.]
Transportation
Located in Agargaon, a well-connected part of central Dhaka, reachable by ride-share, CNG auto-rickshaw, and the Dhaka Metro Rail (Agargaon station is in the vicinity). Exhibitors trucking booth materials should plan move-in logistics around Dhaka's daytime traffic restrictions on heavy vehicles.
Exhibiting at BICC: planning tips
Book hall space and confirm load-in access at least 8-12 weeks ahead of major events; BICC hosts frequent government and diplomatic functions, so calendar availability moves quickly. Confirm rigging, power load, and internet bandwidth requirements with venue engineering before finalizing your stand design.
