Hyderabad is the capital of one of the most techno savvy state in India, Telangana. The previous name of this city was Bagyanagaram.This city is also called the 'city of pearls' because of the major dealing of pearls that is done from this part of the state. Hyderabad was founded in 1591 and planned as a grid with the Charminar at its centre. It has now grown well beyond the confines of the original walled city, to include a new town north of the Musi river, the Military Cantonment at Secunderabad and a burgeoning high-tech Estate, nicknamed "Cyberabad".

Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) is managed by Accor, one of the world's leading hotel operators, and is jointly owned by Emaar Properties PJSC Dubai and Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Ltd. HICC is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art convention facility, the first-of-its-kind and the best standalone convention centre in South Asia. It features an internal hall measuring 6,480 square meters that can be partitioned into six smaller halls.

The facility has quite a few feathers in its cap. It has been the winner of the excellence award for "Best Standalone Convention Centre" for a record four times nationally and has now received a regional award from the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India and Andhra Pradesh. HICC has also received the award for 'Best Meeting & Conference Venue' at the South India Travel Awards 2015. HICC also holds ISO 14001:2014 certification. In every aspect, be it infrastructure, services or technology, it compares with the best in the world.
