Belfast venues ICC Belfast, Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall have begun the search for a new CEO.
The successful candidate will be responsible for promoting Belfast and the surrounding region as a destination for business tourism and international conferences.
As per the 2030 Integrated Strategy for Business Events in Northern Ireland, the ICC Belfast is at the forefront of driving an increase in conferences and delegate numbers in Belfast.
ICC Belfast was recognised as ‘Best UK Event Venue’ at the Micebook Awards 2024, after a successful year of hosting events. The venue was also a contender for ‘Best Convention Centre’ title at the recent Conference & Events Awards 2024.
The new CEO will succeed Julia Corkey, who held the role for four years.
Non-executive chairman of ICC, Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall Belfast Steve Daniels, commented: “Given the bold strategy to build business tourism in Northern Ireland, this is a role which has the potential to realise huge economic growth for Belfast and the wider region, it’s a very special and exciting opportunity. Our three, very different, landmark venues play a central part in attracting revenue for the whole hospitality and tourism sector here.”
“We extend our thanks to outgoing CEO, Julia Corkey, we thank her for her service and wish her every success in the future.”
