Bilbao and BEC have left an indelible mark
Our delegates unanimously agree: Bilbao exceeded expectations in every way. The size of the city, coupled with the modern and comfortable BECs Convention Centre seamlessly linked to the heart of Bilbao by a convenient metro line, made us feel like part of the vibrant city fabric from day one. But it was not just the infrastructure; it was the people, the cuisine, and the overall atmosphere that made our event unforgettable. Bilbao and BEC have left an indelible mark, and we’re already counting down the time until we can return to this amazing place.

Once again, BEC’s team showed us once again that we are colleagues in this profession, we are all in the same boat and we are rowing in the same direction: excellence in the event.
Furthermore, “in times of Covid”, the need to be scrupulous with sanitary measures and the short notice of confirmations were not an impediment for us. Thanks to the professionals we had.
Thanks to the whole team and we hope to be back soon!

The facilities of the Bilbao Exhibition Centre are excellent for holding any academic event. Moreover, the people who work at BEC are charming, helpful and very professional. They are always there to help you with everything you need to organize your event. Should we celebrate another congress in the future, we will certainly do it in the BEC.

Congress Ipar Hegoa
In the middle of the COVID era, it was hard for us to take a firm decision on whether we should organize our Inter-Congress Assembly face-to-face, even if we had the need; but we were not wrong to do it this way and in BEC. The help received from the BEC organizers has been key to carry out everything necessary and in the safest way possible, so thank you very much to them, who have done everything to make it happen. I would also like to thank the help and the hard work of the audiovisual team, to whom we did not make it easy, since technically what we asked for, required a lot of detail and care.
Everything turned out great and we are very happy!
Thank you so much!

42 editions co-organizing an exhibition, has no other secret than finding an excellent level of empathy and willingness to understand. Many people have taken part in this project, from the general management, the department of Meetings and Events, Technical Staff, Security, Cleaning, Catering… all with a common denominator: the success of the exhibition as the main purpose.

BSH (BOSCH SIEMENS HOLDING) Convention
We held a client event for 240 guests at the Bilbao Events and Exhibition Centre in July 2015. We found the professionalism and flexibility of the BEC staff both in the lead up to and during the event fantastic. The facilities at BEC were perfectly suited to our needs and BEC staff were incredibly friendly. In addition the food and service were great. We would definitely return for future events.

In the MICE Industry you select a destination, then an infrastructure
Usually there’s an issue with one or even with both… Since we came to Bilbao and our events were successful from the very start, my view is that this ticks all the boxes: Bilbao as a destination and BEC as a venue. Bilbao is one of the top smart cities in Europe.

Mary Kay Cosmetics
We have been working with BEC for several years as an event organiser. Each year, we hold the Mary Kay Cosmetics Spanish regional conferences there, having worked for them for 18 years. For us, BEC is the perfect venue for this event, as it offers us the necessary space and its facilities are flexibly adapted to the needs of large events such as this, which require a high level of details. Furthermore, BEC has an excellent team of professionals who help us with all of the arrangements, which is undoubtedly a great advantage for any event organiser.

BIBE, Bilbao International Bike Exhibition
Has been awarded the Best Sporting Event in Spain 2014 at the prestigious Eventoplus Awards. I have no doubt at all that holding the event at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre has had a lot to do with winning this award. Its facilities, services, location, accesses and more importantly, the team of professionals behind this fair are a guarantee of success. Its experience and guidance have been key to our success.
I could never have imagined how easy it is to work at BEC. From the moment you walk through the door, you are made to feel part of them. We will definitely be back.

BEC is a great place to organise events thanks to its contemporary architecture and the quality of its facilities
That’s where I have been holding «El salon de Las Manualidades» for many years and it is always a pleasure to work with the highly professional and responsive commercial and technical teams to work in situ in all serenity. We can imagine any type of event at this venue as it has a vast surface area. Furthermore, visitors can easily reach the facilities as an Underground line passes through the Bilbao Exhibition Centre.

Maná “Cama Incenciada” Tour
Bilbao!! What a night in Bilbao!! So good that only now have I recovered to be able to write!! The Basque Country has always been a warm place, oozing a great deal of passion. That’s why Maná has always loved going there, apart from the spectacular food, like in the rest of Spain, there is a vast range of culinary styles. We had the opportunity to visit several museums and sample various restaurants. Bilbao is really one of the most beautiful cities we have visited. Congratulations to all the Basque people. The concert was on fire, like always!!! The BEC went all out like the concert’s energy!! It is gratifying to be at a concert at full volume.
