The Great Machine Hall, now the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre and Gothia Towers, made its debut in 1923 as the Export Exhibition venue during the Gothenburg Tercentennial Jubilee Exposition. This historic site will celebrate its centenary with a series of esteemed international conventions in June, addressing significant contemporary issues.

The Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre and Gothia Towers will be transformed into a huge international knowledge hub for the month. The 6G network, the dams of the future, advances in research into urogenital cancer, blood transfusion and organic and medicinal chemistry will be among the topics discussed at the meeting place.

“Never before has our calendar been so packed with international meetings in June. We are proud to welcome these five prestigious international congresses to our venue,” said Malin Erlandsson, Director Congress & Events at the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre and Gothia Towers.

The events reflect the breadth of current issues that are frequently discussed at the meeting place. They include the EU-sponsored EuCNC & 6G Summit, focusing on the 6G network for a green and digital transition, and the annual meeting of ICOLD, which brings together almost thousands of international delegates to discuss the current state and future of the world’s dams.

Every year, two million people visit the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre and Gothia Towers, a key part of the Gothenburg’s tourist economy. More than 30 trade fairs are organised annually and nearly 8,000 exhibitors participate in the events. Hundreds of major national and international congresses and events are held every year, and everyone from prominent scientists, royalty, Nobel Prize winners and politicians have taken part in various events hosted at the meeting place over the years. With 1,200 hotel rooms, 40,000 square metres of multi-purpose meeting space and five restaurants, there are opportunities for fantastic holistic experiences right in the heart of the city, with all of Gothenburg’s attractions close by.
