Convention center set for major role

Former Olympics media venue draws on extensive host experience

The China National Convention Center in Beijing will experience a few days of calm in early November before becoming the hive of activity during the 2014 APEC Economic Leaders' Week.

Starting on Wednesday, six of the seven days of meetings will be held at the former Beijing Olympics facility, including the Concluding Senior Officials Meeting, the Ministerial Meeting, the APEC CEO Summit and the APEC Business Advisory Council Dialogue with Leaders.
