Why Chennai

A city where venue and movement decisions shape the production.

Chennai’s large-format event market is anchored by Chennai Trade Centre in Nandambakkam, a 34.61-acre venue promoted by ITPO and TIDCO. Its three interconnected halls sit 5.5km from the airport, while separate exhibitor and visitor entrances can reduce peak congestion. The venue is primarily hire-only, so catering, AV and production depend on empanelled external vendors. Those appointments need to be coordinated early, particularly for machinery exhibits and technical builds.

Freight movement

Yes. Separating load-in and exhibitor movement from visitor arrivals can reduce congestion during peak periods.

Vendor coordination should begin alongside venue and layout planning, especially where F&B, AV, production or machinery movement depends on venue empanelment and access rules.
