Pocket-sized metropolis

Basel is Switzerland's prime location for exhibitions and conferences with state-of-the-art infrastructure by architects Herzog & de Meuron. Its internationally famous events include Baselworld, the premier trendsetting show for the entire global watch and jewellery industry and Art Basel, staging the world's leading modern and contemporary art fairs. The city of Basel is a major player in the life sciences. It is home to numerous biotech companies, and the pharmaceutical companies based around Basel are constantly expanding.                                             

Modern infrastructure by Herzog & de Meuron

The Congress Center Basel – with its 25 modern rooms – is located in the heart of the city, right next to Messe Basel, and just a short walk away from numerous hotels. The exhibition complex by architects Herzog & de Meuron marks the perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics. This modern building with its multifunctional Event Hall on the ground floor has a direct walkway to the Congress Center Basel.   Eleven modular rooms further expand the Congress Center Basel's facilities. These can be used individually or combined to accommodate events for 10 to 1,000 people. The modular rooms are located on the ground floor, directly accessible from the main entrance. A plenary event for over 5,000 participants with sufficient space for concurrent breakout sessions in the immediate vicinity is thus no problem at the Congress Center Basel.
