Location

Graz is a most lovely place (particularly in May) and close to numerous other exciting locations. Just to mention a few, Vienna, Salzburg, the Neusiedler See - Seewinkel, Gesäuse, and Hohe Tauern National Parks - and certainly destinations like in Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Germany.

The 15th IAA Humans in Space Symposium will be held at the Grazer Congress.

Uniquely locatedin the historic city centre, Grazer Congress has created a blend of tradition and modernity that is an ideal backdrop for creative communication.

Top-class hotels, restaurants and shops are in walking distance. Grazer Congress is an architectural jewel set in the heart of Graz’ vibrant old town.
This historic complex, boasting three magnificent festival halls, has always been devoted to “the arts and sciences”. Transformation into a modern, international convention centre has put this heritage into a contemporary context.

As the Grazer Congress is located in the very heart of Graz’ Old Town (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) conference guests can easily experience the inspiring atmosphere of the city and its rich cultural life. Graz’ most prestigious hotels are only a few minutes’ walk away. Graz International Airport is only 12 kilometres from the Grazer Congress.

Grazer Congress has 19 function rooms accommodating between 20 and 1,100 people. The maximum conference capacity is 1,500. All halls are linked by foyers on a single level, thereby permitting ideal combinations of meeting and exhibition facilities on a gross total of 2,900 square metres, which can also be used for banquets and balls (max. 2,400 persons). The building also contains a radio studio and press centre, as well as a casino and the Gallerie CC - a leading gallery that specializes in modern art. The in-house caterer of the Grazer Congress offers a marvellous variety of both local Styrian and international culinary delights.
