The ASEAN Convention Center, formerly the Fontana Convention Center, is a convention center at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, Philippines.[1]

The building was originally constructed in February 2016 and was meant as one of the venues of one of the ministerial meetings of the 2017 ASEAN Summit.[2]

It was renovated by Budji+Royal Architects for four months 2017 and was renamed as the ASEAN Convention Center and the venue hosted the 11th ASEAN Defense Ministers' Meeting.[3]
