After hotel ballrooms that hold 1000 persons, the smx convention manila has the biggest place for meetings/exhibitions. We held our company affair here using two rooms with about 2000 people. The place was good, and parking plentiful. Their sounds and light was good. Only setback was the food, as it came pack and with outside caterer it wasn’t that good.

Was part of an exhibition here and must say the facilities are great. It is a bonus to be next to Conrad Hotel if one needs a bit luxury or next to MOA shopping mall, one can reach everything on bridges so even in bad weather one stays dry

Ok... this is NOT a place you visit for a whole day... maybe 1.... 2 hours max..... but when they have a convention you like? its really enjoyable.... i cant really say much that's generic enough to not pin it to a specific convention i visited... im aware that everyone would have a different thing they would like to attend.... but whatever it is your interested in? if its here? you can expect wide open spaces.... so it would be difficult at best to feel choked by the crowd.... unless the convention you are going to is anime conventions in which case, prepare for super crowds...

As alwaya, SMX provides the best venues for national conferences. Rooms are properly labelled; there are available ushers that assist you to the function rooms. Toilets are accessible and cubicles are many and well-kept. The staff is genuinely courteous and cordial. Place is safe; shopping, going to church, dining come so easy since SMX is adjacent to all these shops.

Attended an annual automotive event . Been attending a medical convention here on a yearly basis. Comfortable place to walk around . Good for huge exhibits and conferences. Walking distance to a Catholic Church , the huge Mall of Asia and the MOA Arena. In proximity as well are 2 hotels , Conrad and Microtel . Aircon temperature was stable through out. Security all over. Parking area accessible. Scarcity of food stall and coffee shops within however.

Is there a list of how much per function room? Like for example I am planning to go have an event at function room 3, how much would the venue cost hourly and what amenities could I use in that room. Are there package deals available?
