Congress Center Leipzig (CCL) for congresses with up to 20,000 participants
Plenty of space for conferences of all sizes
A naturally lit atrium and lots of customisable space: the Congress Center Leipzig (CCL) is the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. It is one of the most modern congress centres in Europe. And it is directly integrated into the exhibition grounds of Leipziger Messe. In numbers, the CCL has 23 halls and rooms with seating for between 30 and 1000 people. There are also multifunctional, multi-purpose areas and spacious foyers. The exhibition halls and meeting areas in the Messehaus are right next door. The rooms and halls can be combined to suit the requirements of your event. Conferences with just a few hundred delegates are just as easy to organise as congresses with many thousands of visitors and a large trade fair.
Fully customisable exhibition hall
Everything within reach for your delegates
Benefit from the advantages of Leipzig’s exhibition grounds! You can hold large conferences in the CCL and in the neighbouring Exhibition Hall 2. With more than 20,000 square metres of space, it is ideal for presenting numerous exhibitors and integrated plenary halls. This offers you a major advantage: everything is within easy reach, leaving more time for meetings and networking. One event that benefits from this is OTWorld, the leading international congress and trade fair for modern medical aids. The exhibition hall can also accommodate a large plenary hall with several thousand seats and a stage. The large amount of space on offer and the flexible layout has also convinced the German Child and Youth Welfare Congress. Europe’s largest youth welfare summit will welcome delegates to the CCL and Leipzig’s exhibition grounds in May 2025. Some 30,000 guests are expected in total. But what if you don’t need an exhibition hall? The CCL also provides ample space for compact exhibitions as part of a conference. The OECD’s International Transport Forum has been taking advantage of this for years. Just look at the references – the CCL regularly impresses organisers as a venue for national and international conferences.
KONGRESSHALLE am Zoo Leipzig for meetings with up to 1,200 delegates
Historic setting for modern conferences
Want to hold your event close to the city centre? Then you should definitely consider the KONGRESSHALLE am Zoo Leipzig. The Gründerzeit building from 1900 is an architectural highlight and makes for a real eye-catcher. Since its renovation in 2016, the KONGRESSHALLE has been operated by the CCL as a modern conference centre. Fifteen halls and rooms of various types, plus foyers and lounges, can accommodate from 10 to 1,200 delegates. Again, there is plenty of flexibility in terms of room combinations. Add to this the proven CCL-style full service. Another advantage: it is within walking distance of Leipzig’s main railway station and many hotels in the city centre.
