Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) will undergo a major refurbishment in June – including an upgrade to digital services.

An investment of £1.8 million from BCP Council will be used to refresh customer areas within the venue as well as to install new high-tech equipment, lighting, screens and audio technology.

The scheme will maintain Bournemouth’s conferencing offer and upgrade facilities in line with other modern venues across the country.

Councillor Mohan Iyengar, portfolio holder for tourism and active health, said: The BIC has drawn in events, conferences and famous artists to our area over the years. It’s a hub to connect people and an attraction for visitors, bringing trade to our tourism, hospitality and retail sectors.”
