ICC Jerusalem International Convention Center
Playing host to dozens of conference and fairs a year, the Jerusalem International Convention Center (ICC) – better known by its former name, Binyanei Ha’uma – is the largest of its kind in the country. The building, erected in 1956 not far from the government complex on Givat Ram, plays host to a variety of conventions, seminars, exhibitions, and cultural events, and houses a movie theater.
The center is a total of 12,000 square meters spread over 10 spaces on two levels which can accommodate between 40 and 10,000 participants.
The building’s huge Ussishkin Auditorium – the largest in Israel with over 3,000 seats – has been the venue for events as diverse as the Eurovision song contest (twice) and the trial of Nazi war criminal Ivan Demjanjuk. It is also the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra home away from home in Jerusalem and hosts many of the higher-profile Israel Festival performances. Binyanei Ha’uma is also the place where the Globus movie theater (amazingly, one of only two multiplexes in Jerusalem) relocation, after its space in the Malha Mall was converted into the H&M clothing store.
Among other things, the center offers professional stage services, design services, catering services, security, stewardship, WiFi and a professional team of events managers.
The ICC is located at the entrance to the city, right across the street from the Central Bus Station, and around the corner from the towering Crowne Plaza Hotel. The Center offers 850 parking spaces, making it a convenient choice for any event.

MoreWe went to a concert. There are several problems with this place. One is related to the acoustic is very problematic. The chairs are not in a good slope (angle not high enough, which present issues for the view you see and how you experience the sound). The worst is with the parking. Not enough and designed in a way that when leaving after the show it is a big traffic jam, both because there are not enough ways to get out from the parking lot and because the light are not adjusting itself to that kind of pressure (it took 30 minutes to get out of parking after 10 pm).
Less“Poor for an International Cedntre”
This centre needs upgrading. It is confusing to get around due to lack of signage and there way it was designed. The toilets are few and far between . People with mobility problems would have great difficulty accessing the toilets. There is a lack of elevators. The hall itself was fine. There was no commercial...

People with mobility problems would have great difficulty accessing the toilets. There is a lack of elevators. The hall itself was fine. There was no commercial coffee shop available. All in all not fit for large conferences.
