Kongresshaus Zurich / Zurich Convention Center

About us

UNIQUE LOCATION - SWITZERLAND’S NEWEST CONVENTION CENTER Together, the new Zurich Convention Center and the historic Tonhalle complex create a unique European venue with endless possibilities for whatever event you are planning. International specialist conventions with several thousand participants? Meetings in rooms with natural light and marvellous views? Corporate conferences with star guests on the big stage? Captivating product presentations on the breathtaking terrace with a panoramic restaurant? In the new Zurich Convention Center, truly anything is possible – and carbon neutral to boot. After a four-year overhaul with an investment of CHF 174.4 million, the new, highly modern Zurich Convention Center and world-renowned ZurichTonhalle opened in summer 2021. AS DIVERSE AS THE EVENTS - OVER 80 YEARS OF MICE EXPERTISE 5 300 m2 of event space, 4 500 seats and more than 20 rooms and foyers: The new Zurich Convention Center is the largest venue of its kind in the center of Zurich. It sets new standards in terms of space, flexibility and individuality. On request, almost all spaces and rooms can be made smaller or bigger, be partitioned or extended. All rooms are equipped with state-ofthe-art technology. By subdividing the building and creating different event spaces, several events and breakout sessions can be held simultaneously. The structural and operational symbiosis with the Tonhalle opens up additional attractive possibilities. The Tonhalle is one of the largest concert halls for classical music in Zurich. Sit back and enjoy perfect acoustics from any seat. It is not for nothing that the Grosse Tonhalle is considered to be one of the best concert halls in the world. Organisers can make use of our first-class in-house catering service, with over 80 years of experience. On request, we will design a customised catering concept for you, ensuring that your event is a feast for the senses. Together, the new Zurich Convention Center, the historic Tonhalle complex, the new restaurant with its large terrace and the inviting bars with lounge areas will act as an international magnet for event guests, concert-goers, tourists and local residents. INTERNATIONAL STAGE The Zurich Convention Center has already welcomed numerous global stars, from jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Ella Fitzgerald to entertainers Josephine Baker, Sammy Davis Jr. and Harry Belafonte and rock and pop giants Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Deep Purple, Udo Jürgens and Patricia Kaas. We have also had the honour of welcoming Nobel Laureates in Literature, US presidents, federal councillors, business leaders and personalities such as the Dalai Lama into the iconic building, and the award ceremony for the world Footballer of the Year has already been held here.
