The European Convention Center Luxembourg, known as the ECCL, is a congress centre where you can run conferences, exhibitions and gala evenings for up to 800 people in one plenary hall. It stands at 4 Place de l'Europe in Luxembourg City and offers more than 40 rooms, so a plenary, parallel workshops and a dinner can sit under one roof.
Seminars and company events
The ECCL has been running events for more than 25 years and hosts over 150 of them a year. Organisers can book a full congress or a smaller corporate meeting. The venue describes its offer as turnkey: rooms are ready to use, an in-house team supports the organiser, and catering is included in the service. The center states that its foyers get a lot of daylight, which helps for exhibitions, coffee breaks and networking between sessions.
Three types of rooms cover most formats. The plenary halls and the amphitheater are used for keynote sessions, general assemblies and conferences. The meeting rooms suit committees, workshops and training. The sub-commission rooms are small enough for working groups, breakout sessions or delegations that need a private space during a larger event.
Rooms and capacities
There are two plenary halls. Their capacity ranges from 146 to 800 people, depending on the hall and the layout. The amphitheater has 646 seats. Eleven meeting rooms take between 35 and 380 people. Thirty sub-commission rooms hold 20 to 70 people each.
Beyond the rooms, the ECCL has four bars with a contemporary design, one of them called Bar Crocodile, and three modular foyers whose surface runs from 350 to 2,600 m². In total the foyers exceed 3,500 m². The centre presents them as suitable for trade shows and for gala dinners. The website offers a filter by capacity, a downloadable room overview and 360 degree views of the rooms, so an organiser can shortlist spaces before asking for a quote.
Catering
The ECCL works with exclusive service providers for catering and states that it offers a personalised gastronomic experience. Coffee breaks, working lunches, receptions and gala dinners can therefore be planned with the venue team rather than with an outside caterer. The center also says it applies measures with these providers to obtain a green sustainability label.
History and setting
The ECCL is the centrepiece of the Convention Park Luxembourg, a group of facilities and services built around the congress centre to support the organisation of events. The park gathers the infrastructure an organiser may need before, during and after a conference. The address, in the Neudorf-Weimershof area of Luxembourg City, places the venue in a business district of the capital.
Getting there
The venue lists its address as 4 Place de l'Europe, L-1499 Luxembourg, and its phone number as +352 43 02 57 751. Its website is available in French and English. For access details by public transport and parking, ask the ECCL team when you request a quote.
Weddings are not part of the offer described on the website. The ECCL positions itself as a place for conferences, exhibitions and evening events for companies, associations and institutions.
