Specialist conference venue development consultancy The Right Solution has been appointed by The Convention Centre Dublin to source its Furniture Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E).

The new centre, currently under construction and scheduled for completion in September 2010, is the world’s first carbon neutral international convention centre. The centre’s FF&E will be sourced to the highest standard, with comfort and flexibility as the key requirements to ensure an optimal delegate experience and deliver a wide range of functionality to event organisers.

Eric Rymer, Director of The Right Solution, said: “In our experience of assisting with the development of convention centres across the world, FF&E has the biggest impact on visitor experience after the actual centre design and build features. We are thrilled to be working with Europe’s newest convention centre to deliver an exceptional quality FF&E that will complement the design and optimise usage of the venue.”

Nick Waight, Chief Executive of Convention Centre Dublin added: “We are delighted to have appointed The Right Solution to deliver this essential element of our new convention centre. With their expertise in assisting world-class venues to develop their offer, we have no doubt that our FF&E will enhance the Convention Centre Dublin’s proposition to attract a more discerning buyer.”
