The Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) is a landmark convention venue situated on an artificial hill in Precinct 5 of Putrajaya, Malaysia. Completed in 2003 and designed under the guidance of Malaysia's fourth Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the building's architecture is inspired by the 'Pending Perak'-a traditional silver Malay royal belt buckle-featuring a roof structure resembling folded origami. Spanning 135,000 square meters, PICC offers extensive facilities including five main halls such as the Plenary Hall with a 3,000-person capacity, Heads of States Hall, Perdana Hall with a large kitchen for banquets, and multiple seminar and exhibition halls. It is equipped with interpreter rooms supporting 13 languages, VIP lounges, meeting rooms of various sizes, prayer rooms, restaurants, and a business centre, complemented by a two-level basement car park accommodating 1,200 vehicles. Since its inauguration, PICC has hosted numerous notable events including the 10th Islamic Summit in 2003, international fireworks competitions, and global corporate conventions. Its strategic location overlooking a scenic lake and its modern amenities make it a sought-after venue for high-profile conferences, cultural events, and film shoots, reflecting its status as a world-class international convention centre.
