Confex

Confex stands for the fusion between a conference venue and an exhibition space! 2 conference levels including 22 conference rooms ranging from 27 m² to 205 m², a prestigious outdoor terrace and the real jewel, the Confex hall, which can be divided into three sections and has a total capacity of 4,300 people. The surrounding entrances to the Confex hall are directly connected to the light-flooded foyer, which offers sufficient space for receptions, relaxed breaks and staged side events, and directly adjoins the open-air plaza. The building also boasts a scalable size, as it is integrated into one of the world's largest trade fair grounds. For the utmost flexibility in event planning, the Confex can be extended at any time to include additional rooms, halls and areas. Another plus: the divisible Hall 1 and Hall 2.2, which are located in the immediate vicinity of the Confex, are directly connected to the Confex by a covered pedestrian bridge.
