SMG Europe has recently opened a new arena & convention centre in Istanbul Turkey the gateway to the east. The first purpose-built live entertainment venue in the emergent Turkish market will offer a flexible capacity up to 6300. Ora Arena has been designed to host a wide range of events with an all inclusive appeal such as: family entertainment; musical and theatrical; local, national and international pop and rock concerts; sport; corporate presentations; product launches and TV shows.

Ora Convention Istanbul is the latest destination for meeting in Istanbul with a thoroughly modern aesthetic and a touch of entertainment excitement. In conjunction with the Crowne Plaza Istanbul-Ora and the Holiday Inn Express Istanbul Ora hotels, Ora Convention includes plenary, exhibition and premium meeting and ballroom space making it the ideal venue for association, corporate and social events.

The purpose-built hospitality facilities at Ora Arena will be the first of their kind outside football stadia in Turkey. Luxury VIP facilities and a superior food and beverage offering combined with the highest possible standard of customer service will ensure every night is a night to remember.

The backstage, load-in and production facilities will be incomparable to any other venues in the area surpassing international touring operational requirements. The state-of-the-art facilites, combined with SMG’s experience and booking expertise, will enable shows that have had to bypass Turkey in the past to finally be able to appear at Ora Arena.

Easily accessible from all parts of the city, with a projected 12 million visitors a year to Ora, this visionary development includes the arena & convention centre, outlet mall, theme park, and two IHG hotels making it the first mixed use project of its kind in Turkey.
