Basel – the pocket-sized metropolis

Basel is Switzerland’s prime location for exhibitions and conferences with state-of-the-art infrastructure by architects Herzog & de Meuron. The exhibition venue belongs to the MCH Group, a leading international live-marketing company groupwith a comprehensive services network spanning the exhibition and event market. Its internationally famous events in Basel 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.

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. Messe Basel's 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 between 10 and 1,000 people. The modular rooms are located on the ground floor and are directly accessible from the Congress Center’s main entrance. A plenary event for over 5,000 participants with sufficient space nearby for concurrent breakout sessions is thus no problem at the Congress Center Basel.

Basel – a secure place to be

There are many different qualities that Basel can put forward as arguments in its favour. They include the stability of its economy, government and society. Furthermore, Basel is a compact, clean city where most attractions can be reached on foot or using the city's rapid and punctual public transport system that even goes over the border into Germany and France. Hotel guests in Basel receive a Mobility Ticket upon check-in. This gives all guests staying in Basel free use of public transport during their stay.

Assistance spanning many years

The team at the Congress Center Basel frequently supports organisers over a period of several years with all the different aspects of a congress, working together closely with the city of Basel too. Preparations are precisely tailored to the needs of the event in question. This intensive and successful cooperation has enabled more than 65 international and 60 national congresses of different sizes to be staged over the past five years, with some 650,000 participants in all.
