The Reed Messe Wien Congress Center has been in full operation since January 2010, setting new standards for Vienna’s convention industry. Occupying a 15 hectare site, the new MesszentrumWienNeu exhibition and conference complex, of which the centre forms part, has four halls with a combined 70,000sqm of exhibition space, capacity for 25,000 conference delegates and parking for 4,500 cars. The venue is also served by a fair hotel and by two underground stations. Vienna City Council has invested a total of EUR 192 million in the project. Three new exhibition halls, and a combined conference centre and office block have been built, and an existing hall upgraded. All boast state-of-the-art technology. The exhibition halls are linked by an elegant 450m mall, while two new multi-storey car parks provide ample parking space. The facilities at Reed Messe Wien Congress Center are particularly ideal for conferences with large related exhibitions, and have the added advantage of being operated by Reed Exhibitions — the world's leading exhibition organiser.
