The state-of-the-art CTC is incidentally the first fair infrastructure that has been developed by ITPO outside Delhi. Set up over an area of 25 acres in Nandambakkam at a prime location in Chennai, the Centre comprises two airconditioned halls without pillars or columns encompassing areas of 5,000 sq. mtrs. and 1,850 sq. mtrs. constructed in the first phase. These have been supplemented recently with a modern, fully air-conditioned Convention Centre.

The latter can accommodate 1,500 participants with a provision for dividing the hall into two equal parts. The audiovisual facility provided at the Convention Centre is of world standards and is eminently suitable for multi-purpose use such as conferences, conventions, cultural shows, etc.

The special facilities available in the Convention Centre are sliding partition, infra-red digital interpretation systems, theatrical lighting system, fire protections with sprinklers and smoke detectors, modern audio and video system, meeting rooms, banquet hall, protocol and VIP lounge, business centre, information booth, parking facilities, multiple screen backdrops with cyclorama screen and multiple interpretation facility for 1 +5 languages, video projector facility, integrated remote control for stage lightings, video and audio.
