SEC Armadillo

SEC Armadillo is a distinctive riverside venue in Glasgow, offering a memorable setting for conferences, corporate meetings, live entertainment and major public events. Designed by Foster + Partners, the building is recognised for its striking architecture and provides a flexible auditorium supported by complementary meeting and reception spaces.

The main auditorium can accommodate up to 3,000 guests, with adaptable configurations suitable for plenary sessions, conferences, presentations, award ceremonies, gala dinners and performances. Organisers can also make use of the adjacent Forth and Gala rooms for breakout sessions, workshops, smaller meetings, receptions and banqueting. These spaces can be arranged in several formats, making the venue suitable for both focused business programmes and large-scale productions.

Event organisers benefit from an experienced venue team covering event management, technical production, audio-visual support, operations, front-of-house services, stewarding and security. The venue includes modern conferencing technology, Wi-Fi, dressing rooms, production offices, crew facilities and substantial backstage infrastructure. Its covered loading access, technical rigging capacity, stage facilities and available sound, lighting and projection systems also support concerts, touring productions and branded events.

As part of the wider Scottish Event Campus, SEC Armadillo can work alongside the SEC Centre and OVO Hydro for complex programmes requiring multiple venues, exhibition areas or high-capacity event spaces. Its Glasgow location, accessible transport links and landmark character make it a strong option for organisers planning conferences, exhibitions, corporate celebrations, product launches, ceremonies, live shows and location shoots.
