2024:Venue
The conference will be held in International Congress Centre in Katowice. It's located in a city center, not far from the train station and accommodation options.
The International Congress Centre in Katowice is a modern and award winning venue that has hosted large international summits such as the United Nations conferences: World Urban Forum in 2022 and Climate Change Conference in 2018.
We will be using multiple areas for programme sessions, main hall events, casual networking, and social experiences. The venue is located near the Silesian Museum and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra buildings, and has plenty of green space around it. It has a very high standard of audio visual facilities, and of course, much needed high-speed internet designed for large traffic. It also features an interesting interior and architectural design, linked to the history of the area. The venue is also fully accessible in all areas we will be using. There will also be space for prayer rooms and quiet areas.
Venue address:
- Międzynarodowe Centrum Kongresowe
- plac Sławika i Antalla 1
- 40-163 Katowice
