广州国际会展中心是中国最大的国际会展、投资贸易基地之一，是21世纪广州城市新形象的标志性建筑和旅游观光景点之一。
会展中心位于珠水环绕的琶洲岛。琶洲上接科学城和五山大学群，下接广州大学城及莲花山旅游休闲中心，交通条件和地理位置可谓得天独厚。为给一年一度的广交会营造良好宽松的人文环境，华南快速干线和东环高速公路从西到东将琶洲全岛分为明显的A、B、C三个区，广州会展中心就位于心脏地带B区的核心，其周围正在发展起与会议和展览相关联的配套设施，如酒店、写字楼、银行、商业服务网点和博物馆等。这一地区正在形成以会展博览、国际商务、信息交流、高新技术研发、旅游服务为主导，兼具高素质居住生活功能的生态型新城市副中心。
广州会展中心占地70万平方米，建筑面积50万平方米，由设有8000个国际标准展位的展览厅和能满足3万人同时用餐、活动的配套服务设施组成。这里不仅可以进行商品展览、商贸洽谈，还兼顾展商、宴会、新闻发布以及大型集会、庆典等功能。
在设计上，会展中心是一座注重建筑节能及室内外生态环境、集建筑艺术和现代科技于一体的现代化智能建筑。

The exhibition center is located on the Pazhou Island surrounded by the Pearl River. The island is adjacent to the Science City and the Wushan university conglomerate in the north and the University Town and Lotus Mountain Tourist Resort Area in the south, an ideal geographical location for convenient transportation. To provide a pleasant and relaxing environment for the annual Canton Fair, the South China Expressway and the East Ring Highway divide the island from west to east into three districts—Districts A. B. and C. The exhibition center is in District B, the core part of the area surrounded by rapidly sprouting supporting facilities like hotels, office blocks, banks, retail chains and museums, etc.. The whole area is quickly developing itself into an ecologically new secondary city center of Guangzhou based mainly on conventions and exhibitions, international trade, information exchanges, high-tech development and tourist service, and also fulfilling high-standard living requirements.
Guangzhou Convention and Exhibition Center covers an area of 700,000 square meters and has a construction area of 500,000 square meters, consisting of exhibition halls that can provide 8,000 international standard booths and supporting facilities sufficient to provide food and public activity functions for 30,000 people. It is not only an ideal place for commodity display and international trade talks, but also a choice site for the exhibitors to hold banquets, press conferences, large functions and ceremonies.
In design, the exhibition center is a modern intelligence building that features a good combination of architectural art and modern technology embodied by its emphasis in energy-saving details and ecological environment concerns both inside and outside.
