Echo Arena Liverpool is the arena half of ACC (Arena and Convention Centre) Liverpool located on the former King's Dock in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom.[2] The BT Convention Centre forms the other half of the complex. Although Echo Arena itself opened in January 2008, ACC Liverpool as a whole was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during their visit to Liverpool on 22 May 2008. The complex's naming rights belong to the Liverpool Echo and the BT Group.

It can be possible to use the exhibition hall in conjunction with the arena, giving a total exhibition space of over 7,000 square metres. This unique design being the only one of its kind in Europe.
