The Valencian Congress Centre
A boldly elegant,
thoroughly functional meeting place
A design suggesting a shimmering fish is the imaginative look created by Sir Norman Foster for the Valencian
Congress Center, setting a marine theme for this haven of work and relaxation that has become the city's
new gateway, welcoming conference delegates from the world over. Sir Norman's exquisite taste and audacious design
combine with state-of-the-art technology and equipment to offer the city and the world an exceptional meeting place.
Outside in the spacious, beautifully landscaped grounds, the central foyer is fronted by a series of low pools that are both decorative and functional, since they help to cool the building. The delightful fountains and ponds accentuate the
aquatic theme. The gardens are a welcoming space for public enjoyment at all hours of the day.

A perfect setting for both meeting and relaxing
Details that delight
In each of the Congress Centre's three auditoriums, you are assured of excellent acoustics and the latest available conference facilities. Afterwards, you emerge into the main thoroughfare, which is bathed in natural light, and can step outside for a refreshing break, joining your colleagues
for relaxed socialising on the grounds.
It is an intelligent building equipped with the latest technology and staffed by a team of
capable professionals, ready to solve your problems graciously and efficiently.
An exceptional meeting place
The Valencian Congress Centre is the ideal forum for the academic, scientific
and medical worlds, as well as the financial and business communities. It is the
shining symbol of a new era, reflecting the spirit of Valencia on the threshold of
the new millennium, helping position the city for a leadership role in the Mediterranean.
The outstanding Congress Centre, among the best of its kind, combines the best
available technology, infrastructure and human resources.
