The Congress Center Villach hosts congresses, seminars, annual meetings, galas and product launches for 2 to 1,060 people in Villach, Carinthia. Nine event rooms sit in the center itself, and a 4-star superior hotel is connected to it. Companies can hold the working sessions, the meals and the stay under one roof.
Seminars and company events
The center lists its corporate offer by format. An annual meeting or general assembly runs for 50 to 2,000 people with a stage, technology and catering. A strategy retreat uses quieter rooms close to the hotel. Seminar and workshop rooms take 10 to 80 people and have daylight. The same spaces serve staff parties, customer events and product presentations, with flexible areas for showrooms. One fixed contact person handles the whole event, from the first offer to the last day.
