First-class venues for events in Davos

Leader in the global meeting market: Davos is the leader in the global mountain meeting market, hosting well over 400 events annually. For good reason: Davos boasts a rich & long-standing congress tradition that no other Alpine city can match. It features the most modern congress center in the Alps and, with the World Economic Forum (WEF), an event of outstanding international appeal. Overall, Davos offers over 100 different rooms with a capacity of over 15,000 participants.

The roots of Davos’ meeting and congress business date back to the 19th century. Even then, famous guests and medical professionals from all over Europe lived in the high-altitude health resort and exchanged their expertise at conferences. In 1923, Davos doctors organized the first international congress, followed by the physical-meteorological observatory in 1925, and in 1928, Albert Einstein opened the first “Davos University Courses.” Davos had definitively risen to become a congress city and a meeting point for intellectual elites.

Meeting, Energy, Education, and Knowledge City: But Davos is much more than just a congress city: The town is home to various renowned research stations, such as the national Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research, numerous specialized clinics and hospitals, and is simultaneously an energy, education, and knowledge city. All of this is embedded in a natural environment at 1560 m above sea level, which creates what is globally known as the “Spirit of Davos.”

Smoothly organize demanding events in Davos

Suitable for medical congresses: For events such as congresses attended by medical or pharmaceutical professionals and sponsored by industry companies, strict guidelines apply in Switzerland. These regulations generally state that the primary purpose of medical congresses is the dissemination of scientific or professional information. The time spent on this must significantly outweigh that for any accompanying social program. Davos takes these guidelines very seriously, refers to them in all publications and contracts, and complies with them 100%.

Organizers reward this commitment with their loyalty. Not without reason: While in other congress cities, the already very limited free time of congress participants can be used for business appointments, the village-like atmosphere of Davos, protected by the mountains, promotes successful focus on the attended congress. Participants usually simply lack the time for other activities. Davos meets all framework conditions for medical congresses in Switzerland according to the guidelines.

First-class Congress Center: With its most recent expansion, Davos boasts one of the most modern congress centers in the Alps. The modern Davos Congress Center spans 12,000 square meters, features three autonomously operable building sections, a plenary hall for 1,800 participants, and 34 additional rooms. Up to 7,000 participants can convene here in a first-class infrastructure.

Davos Congress handles the organization, and the catering service provides culinary excellence. All of this is available from a single source. Trust in quality is the beginning of everything: The Davos Congress Center holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. This means the center adheres to internationally recognized quality standards in management processes and environmental requirements. All information regarding the premises and infrastructure, as well as the services of Davos Congress, can be found on the Davos Congress Center website.

Experience private celebrations in Davos

However, it’s not only corporate clients who are looking for the optimal event venue; there are also numerous private occasions for which a suitable location must be found. Especially for larger celebrations, it is often not possible to adequately host all guests in one’s own home and celebrate comfortably with everyone. That’s why fiylo® offers many event venues that are perfectly suited for private occasions. Lean back, take your time to look at everything, and then make your choice relaxed on screen. The photos and videos of each location will help you accurately assess the ambiance on site. Of course, it is always advisable to view everything again in detail during a personal visit.

Is it really too expensive if I rent a venue with my guests? Many users have this thought before browsing through the categories on fiylo® for the first time. And then they are positively surprised that there truly is a suitable venue for every budget. For example, if you want to save costs, simply choose an event venue that only rents you the event space. Then you can organize the decoration and catering for your guests yourself.

Of course, Davos offers not only attractive indoor spaces but also many venues that provide outdoor areas for your family celebration. Especially when children are among the guests, it is often ideal if the celebration takes place outdoors. While the adults feast and socialize, the children have plenty of space to play and romp. No one gets bored, and everyone is happy. By the way: In Davos, there are wedding venues that offer childcare upon request. For the bridal couple, it is the most beautiful day of their lives, and it should be celebrated in a joyful atmosphere. It’s great when the youngest guests are well looked after and cared for by experienced staff. They are nearby but don’t have to spend the entire time with the wedding party.
