The WTCB Congress Center hosts congresses, conventions, product launches, gala dinners and cocktail receptions, with a 430-seat auditorium and flat-floor rooms for up to 500 guests. It occupies the first floor of the Edificio Sur at the World Trade Center Barcelona, on the Moll de Barcelona pier in the Port Vell, Barcelona.
Seminars and company events
The center is built for business events. By its own figures it offers one auditorium and 21 multipurpose rooms across about 7,000 m², so a single booking can combine a plenary session, breakout rooms, an exhibition area and a dinner without leaving the building. Smaller meetings use the Salas A or the Salas Sur, which can be set up in theater, classroom or U-shape. Larger formats move to the Sala Port Vell or the Sala Ágora, both of which can be divided. The team also builds custom events for up to 450 people. Audiovisual systems, high-speed Wi-Fi and simultaneous interpretation are part of the offer, and the event team handles the setup with the organizer.
Rooms and capacities
The Auditorio seats 430 in theater style. It covers 379 m², with a ceiling height of 3.49 m, an adjustable stage of 40 m² and a 24 m² LED screen measuring 8 by 3 m. The Sala Ágora is the largest flat-floor space: 816 m² for up to 500 people, and it can be split in two. The Sala Port Vell covers 700 m² for up to 460 people and divides into three.

Accommodation
The center works with the Eurostar Grand Marina, a five-star hotel with 291 rooms in the World Trade Center complex, so delegates can sleep a few steps from the plenary room. Other hotels and restaurants line the port area.
Catering
Food and drink are handled in-house, from coffee breaks to standing cocktails and seated gala dinners, with menus adapted to dietary needs. The center names Work Team Solution, Singularis and Serunion as the operators behind its catering service.
History and setting
The World Trade Center Barcelona stands on a pier between the old port and the open sea, at the foot of the Rambla and Montjuïc. Several rooms look over the water, and the Club WTCB opens onto a terrace, which gives breaks and evening receptions a waterfront setting while the old town stays within walking distance.

More than 900 parking spaces serve the complex, with further car parks nearby. The Drassanes metro station on line L3 is the closest public transport stop, a walk of about 15 minutes along the pier.
