Kap Europa is a congress center for conferences, plenary sessions, workshops and evening events with up to 2,400 guests. It stands in the middle of Frankfurt am Main and is run by Messe Frankfurt, the operator of the neighboring fairgrounds. You can rent the whole building or single levels.
Seminars and company events
The building has four event levels plus an entrance level. Two large halls anchor the program: Horizont hall on level 4 for up to 1,050 guests and Meridian hall on level 2 for up to 602 guests. Both can be combined with a foyer, so a plenary session, a coffee break and an exhibition can run on the same level.
Level 1 is the workshop floor. Plateau hall seats 310 people in theater style, and six rooms on this level can be turned into nine with built-in wall elements. This suits parallel breakout sessions, training days and interactive formats. Level 3 holds three more rooms with large windows, which organizers use for breakouts or as speaker and organizer offices. Level 3 is only booked together with level 2 or level 4.
In total the venue lists two halls, twelve conference rooms, some of them divisible, and four event levels. The main foyer on level 0 is included in every booking.
Rooms and capacities
Level 0 is a 700 m² entrance area with natural light, a 17 m registration and cloakroom counter and a quiet zone. Level 1 offers Plateau hall and the divisible room block. Level 2 has Meridian hall, 7.30 m high and divisible with mobile wall elements, plus a foyer suited to exhibitions or catering stations. Level 4 has Horizont hall, 8.40 m high, with a large foyer and a terrace for receptions.
Partial rentals of single levels are possible, and requests for them are generally accepted from twelve months before the event date. A capacity overview as a PDF is published on the venue page, and Messe Frankfurt points to its myVenue tool for capacities and availability.
Catering
The official page lists catering, technical equipment and other services as separate items on top of the room rental. It does not name a fixed caterer. Ask in your request which catering partner and which technical package apply to your date.
History and setting
Kap Europa has floor-to-ceiling window fronts and high ceilings, with energy-optimized glazing, acoustic walls and a concrete core that supports climate control. The German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) has recognized its green concept. It sits next to the Frankfurt exhibition grounds, with the Skyline Plaza shopping center on the doorstep.
Getting there
The address is Osloer Strasse 5, 60327 Frankfurt am Main. The Festhalle/Messe subway and tram stop is about 100 meters away, and Frankfurt Central Station is a ten-minute walk. Five parking garages and hotels of several categories are within walking distance.
