CNIT Paris La Défense
Located in Paris' major business district La Défense, CNIT Paris La Défense boasts a sleek, streamlined design thanks to a recent renovation and expansion completed in 2008. Now an architectural wonder, the building is instantly recognizable for its vaulted, triangular shape. In fact, the building seems to lift off the ground on three supports, a design that prompted writer André Malraux to exclaim, "There has been nothing like this since the great Gothic cathedrals!"

Inside, the multi-purpose complex boasts offices, a hotel, a shopping mall and a conference and exhibition space. Planners can take advantage of 28,600 square meters of space, spread among 35 meeting rooms and two auditoriums seating 750 and 1,200 people. The spaces at CNIT Paris La Défense have hosted large-scale events such as Trade Tech, Losangexpo and APEC exhibitions.
