Jakarta Convention Center or JCC (Indonesian: '''Balai Sidang Jakarta''') is a convention center located in Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex, Jakarta, Indonesia. It is one of earliest as well as popular convention center in Jakarta. Since its inauguration in 1974, many important national and international conference, exhibition, fair, indoor sports and musical concerts were held at JCC, including the 10th Non-Aligned Movement Conference in 1992, the Asian-African Conference in 2005 and 2015,[2] and the ASEAN Summit in 2023. It is a very venue place throughout the year.

History

Construction of Jakarta Convention Center complex started in 1960, as a part of Soekarno's ambition to showcase Jakarta's splendor as the capital of the new nation of Indonesia. It was expected to be completed before the Games of the New Emerging Forces in 1963, but never accomplished for the games.[3] The convention center eventually completed in 1974, in time for the opening ceremony of the 23rd annual Pacific Asia Travel Association conference, held in early April 1974. The conference was a major event for Jakarta and several large hotel projects, such as Hotel Indonesia extension, Hotel Borobudur, Hotel Ambassador (now Hotel Aryaduta), and Hotel Sahid Jaya, were also targeted for completion before the PATA conference began. Originally, JCC was in a form of a single dome-shaped plenary hall (see image), designed by architect Soejoedi Wirjoatmodjo.[1]

Between the late 1980s to the early 1990s, JCC received a major expansion for the 10th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit on 1-6 September 1992, which include a new large building conjoined with the existing plenary hall. The new building consists of two new large convention halls (Assembly and Cendrawasih) and two exhibition halls. The renovation was inaugurated by President Suharto 25 August 1992, just a week before NAM Summit.[4] Because the building was under the same management with the Jakarta Hilton International Hotel (now Hotel Sultan) at the time, it was renamed to Jakarta Hilton Convention Center (JHCC). However, the name was reverted to Jakarta Convention Center again in 1995.

On 25 June 2023, JCC received a minor renovation for the 43rd ASEAN Summit on 5–7 September. It focuses on interior refurbishments, along with the readjustment and extension of the lobby area. The canopy on the lobby was also extended. The renovation took 105 days, and it was finished on 25 August 2023.

Facilities

Jakarta Convention Center has a plenary hall that has 5,000 seats, which is the original building opened in 1974. JCC also has an assembly hall with an area of 3,921 m², 13 various sized meeting rooms, and two exhibition halls (A and B) where each have an area of 3,060m² and 6,075m². It is also connected to The Sultan Hotel & Residence Jakarta (formerly Jakarta Hilton International) by a tunnel. The tunnel has moving walkways and is air-conditioned.[5]

Sports events

Between mid-2016 and September 2018, JCC was used as the venue of mixed martial arts event ONE Championship for six times. It also became a temporary venue at the 2017 Indonesia Open, because the Istora Gelora Bung Karno was under renovation for the 2018 Asian Games.[6]

Jakarta Convention Center was used as the location of the media center and International Broadcast Center for 2018 Asian Games.[7] It was also a venue for few indoor matches, as well as Judo, Karate, Ju-jitsu, Kurash, Sambo, and Wrestling.[8]
