Edge Convention Center: Kenya’s new international conference center

Edge Convention Center, Nairobi, Kenya

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Edge Convention Center, a new addition to Nairobi’s event venues, and I was thoroughly impressed by what I saw. As someone who frequently attends international conferences, I found the facilities at the Edge Convention Center to be remarkable. Here’s why.

Situated in Nairobi’s South B estate, right next to the Red Cross’ Boma Hotel, the Edge Convention Center offers an ideal location away from the hustle and bustle of the city center while providing stunning views of the Nairobi National Park. It’s also conveniently close to other major hotels like Ole Sereni, Eka, and The Curve by the Park.

The Edge Convention Center doesn’t just offer event space; it also provides accommodation with 200 rooms, including a luxurious presidential suite, making it an excellent choice for hosting international conferences.

 Edge Convention Center Key Features

Comprehensive Facilities:One of the biggest advantages of the Edge Convention Center is that it offers both conference and accommodation facilities under one roof. This setup is particularly convenient for international guests, making it an all-in-one destination for events.

Accessible Location:The center is easily accessible via the Nairobi Expressway, with nearby exits at Belleview/Capital Center and the southern bypass. This is a significant benefit, considering the often heavy traffic in Nairobi.

Lush Green Spaces:I was particularly taken by the green spaces at the Edge Convention Center. The outdoor event deck on the rooftop is covered in real grass, creating a serene and beautiful environment. The rooftop also features an infinity pool and bamboo trees that provide a natural privacy screen between the event space and the pool area. Additionally, the terrace is lined with snake plants, adding to the natural ambiance.

Ample Space: If you’re concerned about space, the Edge Convention Center has you covered. The main ballroom can comfortably seat up to 3,250 people, and there are 22 breakout rooms and several executive boardrooms. The center also offers plenty of washrooms on each floor, is fully accessible for people with disabilities, and features an innovative architectural design that makes it easy to navigate between rooms.

In summary, the Edge Convention Center in Nairobi stands out as a top-tier venue, combining excellent location, comprehensive facilities, and thoughtful design. It’s a prime choice for hosting international conferences and events.
