Basel is Switzerland's prime location for exhibitions and conferences with state-of-the-art infrastructure by architects Herzog & de Meuron. The city of Basel also is a major player in the life sciences. It is home to numerous biotech companies, and the pharmaceutical companies based around Basel are constantly expanding.  

Modern infrastructure by Herzog & de Meuron

The Congress Center Basel – with its 25 modern rooms – is located in the heart of the city, right next to Messe Basel, and just a short walk away from numerous hotels. It is linked directly to the exhibition complex by architects Herzog & de Meuron. This modern building with the multifunctional Event Hall combines functionality and aesthetics in the perfect manner. Eleven modular rooms further expand the Congress Center Basel's facilities. These are located on the ground floor, directly accessible from the main entrance  

DIA Europe 2018 in Basel  

Every year, the Drug Information Association DIA holds its meeting at a different location. To mark the 30th anniversary of the DIA Europe meeting, the Congress Center Basel had the honour of welcoming some 2000 participants from all over Europe from 17 to 19 April.   The innovations that helped make this leading health conference into a genuine experience, include the creative stage setups. For the branding, digital elements were combined with "tangible" features. In Hall 4U, a fascinating exhibition with state-of-the-art ePosters depicted on the CCB screens delighted those who came. "The Congress Center Basel is an excellent location. The infrastructure is ideal and the working relationship perfect. In future, DIA Europe will be rotating between few different locations, and one of these will be Basel", says Magdalena Daccord, Head of operations EMEA.
