The Congress Center Basel is Switzerland’s biggest congress center in terms of surface area. Located directly alongside Messe Basel, it is in the immediate vicinity of a large number of hotels and a
varied range of restaurants. A footbridge provides a direct link to the new exhibition building designed by Herzog & de Meuron, increasing visitor comfort still further and makes modern congress
infrastructure exceedingly attractive. The 25 modern-rooms are noted for their multifunctionality and variable configurations and hold up to 10’000 people.
Venue
