Agora hosts conferences, medical congresses, trainings, galas, trade shows and weddings for 25 to 2,000 guests, across nine modular halls under one roof. The venue stands at Șoseaua Nicolina 115 bis in Iași, in northeastern Romania, and describes itself as the largest private event venue in the city.
Seminars and company events
Corporate work is a large part of the calendar: conferences, medical conferences, workshops and trainings, team-building days, galas and company dinners. Halls can be set theatre, classroom, U-shape or boardroom. Sala Europa takes the whole floor and up to 600 people, with room for a networking area, parallel workshops or an exhibition. Sala Atena and Sala Areopag take up to 200 each, Sala Sola 120 and Sala Sofia 100 with daylight. Sala Irina, for 25, works as a boardroom or a VIP room. Equipment listed includes screens, LED walls, wireless microphones, a stage, a speaker podium, flipcharts and internet suited to hybrid sessions and live streaming. Coffee breaks come from the in-house kitchen and can be served inside the hall or in a separate area. The team also offers full conference organization, from technical support to coordination on the day. Trade shows and public events, such as a dental congress and a wine festival, also take place here.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings, Sala Europa is the column-free hall for large receptions, and the smaller halls suit civil ceremony receptions, christenings and private parties. The civil ceremony and the dinner can take place in the same building. A planner coordinates the day, a bright bridal room sits next to the main hall, and the menu is set with the couple after a tasting. The venue advises booking 8 to 12 months ahead for weekends between May and October.
Rooms and capacities
The nine halls are Sala Europa (600), Sala Atena (200), Sala Areopag (200), Sala Sola (120), the Bistro (100), Sala Sofia (100), Sala Niceea (60), Sala Irina (25) and Sala Roma (15). They can be joined or separated as the program requires. Each hall has its own climate control, and the building has ramps, lifts and step-free spaces throughout, which matters for congresses with a broad audience.
Catering
Agora runs its own kitchen and catering service, from coffee breaks and buffets for several hundred people to plated festive menus with warm dishes through the evening. Menus can be adapted for dietary needs. The Bistro works as a separate dining room, and a bar stays open even on days without events. The catering team also delivers to events elsewhere in Iași and the surrounding area.
Getting there
The venue is on Șoseaua Nicolina in the south of Iași, with free private parking on its own land for guests and suppliers, and direct access to the building. Iași International Airport serves the city with domestic and European flights, and the main railway station links Iași with Bucharest and other Romanian cities. For a congress with out-of-town delegates, hotels in the city center are a short drive away.
