The Local Government Board will approve tomorrow the agreement appointing the municipal entity to manage and promote the facilities of the iconic historic building dating from 1909. The aim is to attract national and international congresses, conventions, professional conferences and corporate events that generate economic returns and activity for the city. The model will ensure the preservation of the building while remaining fully compatible with the municipal library and public offices, which will continue to operate as normal.

The investment reinforces the venue’s position as a model of efficient and smart management of business tourism. The projects, funded by the European Next Generation programme, were carried out between 2024 and 2026. These measures help to optimise air conditioning and lighting, integrate renewable energy sources and make progress towards reducing the carbon footprint

The Conference Centre is allocating 45,000 euros to AVAPACE, Asindown and Mira’m to carry out initiatives covering all aspects of accessibility: physical, sensory, cognitive and communicative. The Accessibility Advisory Committee will monitor the work plan to achieve the most advanced accessibility standards in the MICE sector

The Valencia Conference Centre is celebrating its 28th anniversary, having established its own identity and become a key player in the city’s business tourism. Since it opened in 1998, this venue has seen a 4.6-fold increase in the number of international conferences it hosts, establishing Valencia as one of the leading international MICE destinations, according to the latest statistics from the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA).

The Espacios Solidarios initiative provides the winning organisation with local authority facilities free of charge.

The Valencia Conference Centre closed 2025 as the second-best year in its history, with revenues of €5.96 million, reinforcing its financial stability and self-funding capacity. The 2026 financial year begins with positive forecasts based on stronger internationalisation and a business model focused on higher value-added events.
