Connexion Conference & Event Centre handles events from a 20-seat rooftop dinner to a single function of up to 2,100 guests, with a 300-seat auditorium, five pillarless ballrooms and 15 function rooms. The center occupies two buildings, Nexus and The Vertical, linked by a covered bridge in Bangsar South, Kuala Lumpur, at the boundary with Petaling Jaya.
Seminars and company events
Corporate use is the core of the business: conferences, seminars, workshops, annual general meetings, training and board meetings, as well as town halls, product launches, award ceremonies and gala dinners. Full-day, half-day and AGM packages are offered. The Auditorium on Level 3A of Nexus has three-tier seating for 300 and a full AV system, which fits keynote sessions, talks and screenings. Nine Pinnacle meeting rooms in The Vertical, with floor-to-ceiling windows, cover breakouts and smaller sessions. Since opening about a decade ago, the center has hosted more than 8,000 events for over 600,000 guests.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and cocktail receptions are regular events. Wedding packages follow the main traditions of Malaysia: a Malay package with a bersanding session and a set menu of Malay dishes, a Chinese package with an eight-course meal, an Indian package with vegetarian options, a Western package with four-course menus, and a format for small ceremonies with close family. The Zenith and The Oak Room are the rooms the center highlights for weddings.
Rooms and capacities
The center offers more than 200,000 sq ft of event space, with ceilings up to 26 ft in its halls. The Grand Nexus Ballroom, the largest, has its own foyer, toilets and a VIP room, and splits into three ballrooms. The Grand Summit Ballroom, the second largest, splits in two, has two VIP rooms and connects directly to VE Hotel and Residence. The Grand Function Room combines four spaces, Spectrum, Prism, Continuum and Reflexion, around a private foyer. The Zenith is a junior ballroom with a curved wall. The Oak Room serves business events and weddings, and the Rooftop Gazebo seats up to 20 in a garden with water features. Most rooms take banquet, theater, classroom, U-shape and boardroom layouts. Capacities per room appear in the center's floor plans and should be confirmed with the sales team.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms in the center itself, but VE Hotel and Residence shares the building with The Vertical and is a two-minute walk from Nexus by covered bridge. Komune Living and Invito are other partner hotels nearby.
Catering
The kitchen is halal certified by JAKIM and cooks local, Western and international menus, with in-house desserts and festive menus for Hari Raya and Chinese New Year. Restaurants such as Potager, Botanica and La Pala are listed as food and beverage partners.

Kerinchi LRT station is 8 to 10 minutes on foot via the Kerinchi Link bridge, and KL Gateway-Universiti station is 5 to 7 minutes away, with a free hourly shuttle on weekdays.
