Aarhus Congress Center can host conferences for up to 1,600 people in cinema style, banquets and parties for up to 1,400 guests and concerts for up to 4,100 spectators. It stands at Margrethepladsen 1 in Aarhus, Denmark, in the Scandinavian Center, under the same roof as a 234-room Radisson Blu hotel.
Seminars and company events
The center offers more than 2,000 square meters of meeting, conference and event space that can be adapted to each event. The main hall, Kongressalen, covers 1,782 square meters and has a ceiling height of 12 meters, enough to hang banners. Conferences fit 1,600 people in cinema style, 1,000 in school style with tables, or 810 in island style around group tables.
A foyer of 600 square meters with daylight can be added, for example for registration, coffee breaks or exhibition stands. Exhibitions and product presentations are listed among the formats, next to conferences, banquets and concerts.
The center sells day packages for 9:00 to 17:00. A typical package includes breakfast, coffee and tea, fruit, water, a lunch buffet, afternoon coffee and tea, standard AV with a projector and a parking card. Packages can be adjusted to the event.
Weddings and receptions
The center lists banquets and parties for up to 1,400 guests, with dinner served for gala evenings. Its website does not present weddings as a separate offer, so couples should ask whether a private celebration fits the calendar and the halls.
Rooms and capacities
Kongressalen is the main space. The 600 square meter foyer sits beside it and can be used for exhibition space. Behind the hall, the center has VIP rooms for performers and speakers, plus secretariat, board and office rooms. The cloakroom has 800 fixed places and can be extended on request.
A capacity chart and two ground floor plans are published on the official site, so an organiser can check a layout before sending a request.
Accommodation
The Radisson Blu Hotel Scandinavia Aarhus, a four-star hotel with 234 rooms, is in the same building. About 1,000 further hotel rooms are within walking distance. The hotel lists 33 meeting rooms of its own, which can serve for breakouts or smaller sessions.
Catering
Catering covers breakfast buffets, lunch, all-day coffee and tea, fruit and snacks, and dinner for gala evenings. The hotel provides the catering for the center.
Getting there
The center is a few minutes on foot from the airport buses to Tirstrup and Billund and from Aarhus Central Station. Aarhus City Hall, Musikhuset Aarhus and the ARoS art museum are close by. The site has 1,100 parking spaces.
