O2 could see new conference centre alongside main venue
Date: 07/01/2010
The O2 could be paired with another development by AEG in a major bid being finalised, which could bring all manner of team building conferences and live brand experiences to the capital.
According to AEG's head of communications Lucy Ellison, the firm is working with Greenwich Council to bring together a plan to add the 3,000-delegate conference and event space to London.
It will aim to submit a formal application in early 2010, when full details of development will be given to the public, though plans apparently involve a convention centre offering up to 28,000 sq m of event space.
Ms Ellison added: "AEG is considering options for the development of a 450-bed, four-star hotel, and this will include a significant events and banqueting centre."
A number of huge events have been hosted at the O2 in recent months, with Depeche Mode heading to the arena in February as part of a 21-city tour of Europe.
