Zurich Unveils New Convention Facilities

Zurich, known as Switzerland’s “Smart Meeting City,” has recently unveiled several new and renovated facilities, which further expand the offerings of the city’s meetings infrastructure, which has the ability to host all kinds of events, from sustainable “green” meetings to hybrid format meetings to full-scale conventions. 

The Circle Convention Center, a new destination at the Zurich Airport, is now open. The brand-new convention center is just "a stone’s throw" from the airport terminal buildings and offers event space covering more than 54,000 square feet, which makes it well suited for hosting conventions, events and meetings, in addition to gala dinners, trade fairs and product launches. A total of 550 guestrooms and suites at the Hyatt Regency Zurich and Hyatt Place Zurich Airport The Circle can accommodate guests of large-scale events. Even the park has an infrastructure for outdoor events. Prepared for hybrid events, the convention center also offers a virtual TV studio with the latest technology.

Known for hosting smaller events, the foundation at the Arena Convention Expo (ACE) can now host large conventions. Thanks to a collaboration between the Hallenstadion, the largest covered event hall in Switzerland (more than 150,000 square feet), and its neighbor, the Messe Zurich, which offers seven halls spread over 323,000 square feet of space, this new expo space aims to provide clients with every service from a single source.

After four years of reconstruction, the Congress Center and Tonhalle Zurich is once again open for events. This is the first convention center in Switzerland where guests and event planners don’t have to think about their carbnon dioxide footprint: The building itself, the catering concept and the center’s central location in the heart of the city by the lake (making it easily accessible by foot), make the implementation easy. And the center will offset any surplus carbon impact.
