General Overview

The Coca-Cola Arena operates as a multipurpose meeting and events site located in a downtown area of Dubai.

Location

The Coca-Cola Arena is situated in a downtown area surrounded by both residential and commercial buildings and away from some the more populr tourist sites. Accessibility is supported by proximity to a metro line, promoting sustainable travel options for delegates. The venue provides 2,000 parking spaces, which it manages directly, and coach parking is facilitated at Parking 5 and the drop-off zone. No information was provided regarding proximity to airports or train stations.

Design

The venue exhibits a modern contemporary architectural style, predominantly utilising concrete, brick, and glass externally. Internally, the design continues with a modern contemporary theme, although some flooring remains cement, reflecting a more basic finish. This minimalistic style may support compliance through discrete access and functional public areas conducive to professional use.

Meeting Spaces

The venue contains a total of three primary meeting rooms, though it has previously been configured into ten rooms within the main area. Meeting spaces are distributed over four floors and can be accessed via a private entrance if required. The largest meeting room accommodates up to 12,000 attendees in a theatre-style setup with front projection. Venue hire is exclusive to one company per day, supporting discretion. Preferred configurations include theatre and cabaret styles. Information on AV equipment and which meeting rooms share a floor with the largest space was not provided.

Bedrooms

As a meeting venue it has no bedrooms but works with 'partner' hotels on request.

Restaurant and Public Spaces

This venue does not provide a permanent restaurant.

Experience

The venue has hosted government events related to the healthcare sector. While no master service agreements with healthcare agencies are in place, and there is no direct collaboration with local life sciences or healthcare organisations, the facility demonstrates a foundational experience in managing compliant professional events.

The Coca-Cola Arena is large capacity events venue and apart from the named sponsor, shoud not detract bookers from considering this a venue suitable for large scale events, including those involving HCP's.
