The G-Mex Center : Attraction of Manchester

The G-MEX centre or Greater Manchester EXhibition centre is an exhibition and conference centre in Manchester in England.

The building was granted Grade I listed building status on December 18, 1963, but has since been downgraded to Grade II* status.

Well known for hosting exhibitions and conferences, the G-MEX Centre used to host high profile rock concerts, most notably Manchester’s own supergroup Oasis in a highly memorable 1997 performance. It was also the venue for gymnastics, weightlifting, judo and wrestling during the 2002 Commonwealth Games. In September 2006 it will be used by the Labour Party for their Annual Conference, moving away from the traditional seaside venue of Blackpool, Bournemouth or Brighton.

In 2001 the Manchester International Convention Centre (MICC) was added to the complex, with an 804 seat auditorium plus breakout rooms and Great Northern Hall. This venue has hosted such prestigious clients as the CBI, Ecofin, Labour Party, Lib Dem Party and, in April 2006, the Conservative Party.
