The Venue
The 8th International Festival of Neuroscience will take place at ICC Belfast. Known for being a world class conference venue based in the heart of Belfast - it hosts high quality, inclusive and sustainable events.
We’ve chosen ICC Belfast as the venue for BNA2027 because it offers a world‑class, purpose‑built international conference environment that aligns with the scale and ambition of our Festival. It provides flexible and modern event spaces that can be tailored to the diverse needs of symposia, workshops, plenaries, and large‑scale sessions.
ICC Belfast’s central city‑centre location makes it highly accessible for both domestic and international delegates, with excellent transport links - including proximity to airports, rail, and ferry links as well as extensive hotel and hospitality offerings.
The venue’s adaptable spaces - including a large auditorium, multiple halls, breakout rooms, and contemporary foyers - support a range of session formats and networking opportunities, reinforcing the collaborative and inclusive ethos of BNA2027.
In addition, ICC Belfast is supported by an experienced in‑house team and state‑of‑the‑art technical production infrastructure, helping ensure smooth event delivery and a high‑quality experience for speakers, exhibitors, and delegates alike.
