A vast range of possibilities for business tourism in Strasbourg

A prestige location with modular facilities

The Strasbourg Convention and Concert Centre (Palais de la Musique et de Congrès) is a prestige location which has recently been fully refurbished and extended. It features 3 auditoriums, seating 1800, 1200 and 500 participants, 23 committee and subcommittee rooms (seating from 20 to 440 people), 10,000 m² of total exhibition area (divided into 5 galleries) and an eating area. The Strasbourg Exhibition Park (which also hosts, for example, the Strasbourg European fair and the ST-ART contemporary art fair) has 3 halls of 6000, 12,350 and 6650 m². A brand-new exhibition Park is due to be completed in 2023 and will slot in seamlessly with the convention and concert centre, both of which are within 10 minutes of the TGV (high-speed train) station, the Archipel business district and the European district.

A modular venue outside the city centre

The Zenith venue is a 15-minute tram ride from the TGV (high-speed train) station and its qualified, experienced staff can organise events such as plenary sessions, cocktails, conventions, dinner shows and dinner dances, for between 90 and 3800 participants.

Venues for more intimate gatherings

Events of any size and shape can be organised in Strasbourg, but if you’re looking for a more intimate gathering, the city is full of hotels and restaurants offering comfortable, smaller facilities where your meetings and meals can take place in peace and quiet.
The city can also cater for events where a more unusual setting is sought.
