Åbymässan is an exhibition and conference center in Mölndal, next to Gothenburg. It hosts trade fairs, conferences, banquets, galas, product launches and TV recordings. The main hall covers 5,500 sq m and seats 2,500 in plenary, and about 20 conference rooms take groups from 12 to 1,100 people. The center presents itself as part of Åby Arena, with 20,000 sq m of outdoor space and 2,000 parking spaces.
Seminars and company events
Åbymässan is built for large formats. The exhibition hall opens directly onto the conference facilities, the restaurant and the hotel, so a trade fair, a congress and a dinner can run in one building. The venue states that it has more than 20 flexible conference rooms, suited to a small workshop as well as a large conference. Organizers can ask for a virtual or in-person tour before booking, and the team adapts the rooms to the format of each event.
From the start of 2026, At Event Sweden AB operates the venue under a new lease with the property owner Corem, covering about 7,400 sq m of Åby Arena.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not listed in the offer. The venue lists banquet dinners, company events and charity galas, and says the hall and the conference rooms are tailored to each event.
