Business events in Kolkata gather in three places. The Biswa Bangla Convention Centre in New Town, opened in 2017 with a 3,200-seat hall, hosts the state's investment summits and the largest industry conclaves. The Science City convention complex and the Biswa Bangla Mela Prangan exhibition ground on the EM Bypass take trade shows and sector expos, with the five-star hotels around them used for conferences and award nights. Park Street and Camac Street hotels and the city's old chambers of commerce host seminars and breakfast sessions for the central business district. Startup and investor meetups are concentrated in Salt Lake Sector V and New Town, close to the IT parks and co-working spaces, and IIM Calcutta at Joka runs public conclaves during its festival season.
