Congresses, conferences, seminars, concerts and balls for 20 to 1,635 guests can be organized at the Congress Centrum Würzburg, the city's conference center in central Würzburg, Bavaria. Ten meeting and seminar rooms and about 3,300 square meters of foyer and exhibition space on three levels sit next to the Maritim Hotel, which handles catering and offers bedrooms under the same roof.
Seminars and company events
The building was modernized and expanded in 2015 and is set up for congresses with a plenary, breakout rooms and an exhibition. The Franconia-Saal takes the plenary, rooms 5 to 13 take workshops and committee meetings, and the foyers carry catering points and sponsor stands. The venue offers congress services, indoor and outdoor branding, and hybrid and digital formats. The building holds an accessibility certificate from the Reisen für Alle scheme, valid from August 2024 to July 2027.
For evening programs, the Franconia-Saal hosts pop concerts, musicals, charity events and balls. A mobile rear wall, a gallery and three stage variants let organizers size the hall for 700 to 1,600 guests in rows. The stage area measures 163 square meters in the large version and 119 in the small one.

Accommodation
The CCW has no bedrooms of its own, but it is directly connected to the Maritim Hotel, so delegates can meet and sleep in one complex. Würzburg offers about 6,000 hotel beds, and the venue's hotel service arranges room allotments for congresses.
Catering
The Maritim Hotel caters events in the CCW rooms and foyers. Groups can also eat at the hotel's terrace restaurant.
History and setting
The glass building looks out over the Main river toward the Marienberg fortress on the hill across the water. The venue is marketed by Congress Tourismus Würzburg, the city's convention office, which also places events in other venues in town.
