Halle 622 hosts conferences, general assemblies, staff events, gala dinners, product presentations, trade fairs, TV productions and concerts. The main hall seats up to 1,600 for a banquet or a conference and takes 2,000 at a standing reception, while the foyer works alone for 350 seated. The venue is a former industrial hall in Zürich-Oerlikon, run by MAAG Music & Arts AG, a few minutes' walk from Oerlikon station.
Seminars and company events
The hall is built for large corporate formats: an annual general meeting, a sales kick-off, a staff party or a launch with a stage show. The main hall is column-free, so sight lines stay clear for a plenary set. The foyer can serve as the entrance, the catering zone, the bar or a breakout space, or run as a separate venue for a conference of 350. Car presentations and sponsor stands are among the uses the venue lists. An in-house event team follows the project from the first concept to the debrief, and technical partners supply sound, lighting and staging.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall covers 1,471 m², plus a 347 m² gallery, for 1,818 m² in all.

History and setting
Halle 622 keeps the high ceilings and raw finishes of its industrial past, set in the Oerlikon district, which grew around engineering works and is now one of the main business areas in the north of Zürich. The operator, MAAG Music & Arts, runs a group of event and concert venues in the city.
Getting there
The address is Therese-Giehse-Strasse 10, 8050 Zürich, with deliveries at Binzmühlestrasse 85 by way of Jungholzstrasse. Zürich Oerlikon station, served by trains, trams and buses, is a few minutes away on foot. Cars can use the nearby Center Eleven, Nordhaus and Cityport garages. Zürich Airport is a short train ride from Oerlikon, which makes the hall practical for international delegations.
