このような要因は、蘇州の金鶏湖に隣接する現代的かつ高水準、多機能の新会議センター、Suzhou Jinji Lake International Convention Centerが需要増大に対応して開発された背景を物語っている。大規模なSuzhou International Expo Center （蘇州国際博覧センター）の一翼、3番目の施設として、この4万平方メートルのセンターは2013年に着工され、この3月18日に正式オープンした。

開業イベントは業界関係者500人以上が参列して豪壮なスタイルで開かれ、30人を超える著名ゲストが祝辞を述べた。このイベントは2016 China (Suzhou) Convention and Exhibition Industry Fairと同時期に行われた。3月18日午前のオープニングフォーラム中、イベント会場としてセンターを選んだ主催者による調印式が行われ、China Chain Store & Franchise Association（中国連鎖経営協会）、China Early Childhood Education Conference、China International Conference for Science and Technology（中国国際科学技術会議センター）など組織委員会の7団体代表がセンターとの契約に調印した。センターにはいくつかの著名イベント主催者から予約が入っており、正式開業に先立って重要な予約確認を得ている。

センターは5万平方メートルの会場内に60種の会合、会議スペースを備え、顧客の要求に応じてスペースの分割、結合が可能である。8000平方メートルの柱のない豪華な宴会場はアジア随一で、大規模な会議や商業イベント、宴会に最適化されている。建物の一大特徴である機能的デザインは、会議と展示会、収容機能をひとつ屋根の下に統合している。センターは展示ゾーンとホテル双方への簡便なアクセスを参加者に提供し、イベントの会議、展示会両面を等しく重視する人気イベント主催者多数が求める柔軟性を確保している。

センターは、繁華街でしか見られない鉄道、包括的サポート施設への直接アクセスなど便利な交通を備えている。会議参加者向けに特別設計されたホテル、客室307室のノボテル蘇州（Novotel Suzhou SIP）が近く開業する。センターは高級ホテル数軒に近い立地のおかげで、大規模会合・会議参加者にとって理想的な場になっている。

広大な会合・展示スペース、総合施設、特注の会議日程計画など専門的なサービスを備えるSuzhou Jinji Lake International Convention Centerは開業によって、大規模イベント、ビジネス会議、企業の年次総会、あるいは各種祝賀会、高度なオーダーメードが求められる高級イベント向けの一流会場を探す主催者の最高の選択になる。センターは蘇州経済発展の促進に大きな役割を果たすと期待されている。

These factors point to why the Suzhou Jinji Lake International Convention

Center, a new modern, high standard and multi-functional convention center

located next to the beautiful Jinji Lake in Suzhou, was developed in time to

meet the growing demand. As the third facility to be built as part of the

larger Suzhou International Expo Center, the 40,000-square meter center started

construction in 2013 and officially opened its doors on March 18th.

The opening event was held in grand style, with more than 500 industry insiders

in attendance. More than 30 signature guests who delivered speeches at the

opening ceremony. The event took place concurrently with the 2016 China

(Suzhou) Convention and Exhibition Industry Fair. The signing ceremony,

attended by event organizers who chose the Center as the venue for their event,

was held during the opening forum on the morning of March 18th. Representatives

from seven organizing committees, including the China Chain Store & Franchise

Association, the China Early Childhood Education Conference and the China

International Conference for Science and Technology, signed deals with the

Center at the ceremony. The Center has received bookings from the organizers

for several name events and already has a meaningful roster of confirmed

bookings prior to the formal opening of the venue.

Within the 50,000 meter venue, the Center will offer 60 types of meeting and

convention spaces, with the capability of dividing and combining the spaces as

needed to meet customer requirements. The 8,000-square-meter luxury column-free

banquet hall, the largest of its kind in Asia, has been optimized for large

conferences, commercial events and banquets. The functional design, one of the

building's highlights, demonstrates the venue's ability in integrating the

conference, exhibition and accommodation functionalities under one roof. The

Center provides attendees with easy access to both the exhibition zone and the

hotel, addressing the flexibility that is required by many organizers of

high-profile events who attach equal importance to the conference side and the

exhibition side of the event.  

The Center features convenient transportation including direct access to rail

lines and comprehensive support facilities that can only be found in a central

business district. A specially designed hotel for conference attendees, the

four-star Novotel Suzhou SIP featuring 307 rooms, will soon be opened to the

public. Thanks to its proximity to several high-end hotels, the Center is an

ideal destination for attendees of large-scale meetings and conferences.

Upon opening, Suzhou Jinji Lake International Convention Center, with its

expansive meeting and exhibition spaces, comprehensive facilities and

professional services including custom conference schedule planning, is the

best choice for organizers seeking a premier venue for their large-scale event,

business conference, annual corporate gathering, or any kind of celebratory or

high-end event demanding a sophisticated level of customization. The Center is

expected to go a long way in facilitating Suzhou's economic development.
