Iloilo Convention Center
WordCamp Iloilo 2018 will be held at Iloilo Convention Center. It is a convention center in the Iloilo Business Park in Mandurriao, Iloilo City, Philippines. The state-of-the-art convention center was designed by Ilonggo architect, William Coscolluela. The design was inspired by Iloilo’s Dinagyang and Paraw Regatta festivals. The paraw is a native double outrigger sailboat in the Visayas region, used in the annual Paraw Regatta Festival sailboat race. Abstract designs of the famous Dinagyang Festival are featured on the glass walls of the center.
