About us
The BDC, based in the London Borough of Islington, is a multi-purpose trade centre with a combination of exhibitions, conferences and events alongside a portfolio of showrooms and office spaces. The business has a long history of supporting its people and the community in which it is based, as well working to improve its impact on the environment. The BDC has been a certified carbon neutral venue since 2010 and has its sights set on achieving Net-Zero before 2030. Opened over 37 years ago in 1986, and formerly the Royal Agricultural Hall, the building was rescued from demolition in 1981 by entrepreneur Sam Morris and was fully restored and re-opened as the UK’s first integrated trade, exhibition and conference complex. Today the BDC attracts in excess of nine hundred thousand visitors every year.
