The conference centre Davos Congress
The conference centre in Davos is situated right in the middle of the small town, with short distances to train stations, hotels, shops and restaurants. The recently renovated venue offers space for conferences with up to 5’000 participants.
In 2020, Davos Congress was awarded the «climate-neutral congress centre» certification as the first in Switzerland. Sustainability is taken seriously in Davos:
– Catering uses local suppliers and seasonal products whenever possible.
– There is no air-conditioning, cooling is done by using the outside air.
– Solar panels on the roofs feed in to the local energy network, and more.
