Why organise an event, congress or gala in Helsinki and in Finland's leading Expo and Convention Centre, Messukeskus Helsinki?

1. Messukeskus
Helsinki, for
curious people
like us.

2. HELSINKI AND MESSUKESKUS LIVED UP TO THE EXPECTATIONS
”Organising an event of this magnitude requires careful
planning, effective work and seamless cooperation. All
this combined with the helpful, positive and professional
attitude of the staff equals success. The personnel of
Messukeskus Helsinki really went the extra mile to make
our congress a success. I think I can easily say that it has
been one of the smoothest meeting organisations ever.
We are very demanding when it comes to audio-visual services and IT.
This time we disregarded the traditional congress portfolios and the
programme and material was in digital form. Thousands of users logged
on to the network simultaneously and used our mobile application. High-
speed internet connection and easy access to a wireless network were an
absolute necessity – and it all worked to perfection.”
Bruno Van den Eede, Managing Director , ESHRE Central Office, Belgium
ESHRE Annual Meeting 2016 gathered 10,000 visitors from over 100 countries
being one of the biggest medical congresses ever held in Finland.

HEARTWARMING SERVICE
Nordic Business Forum has taken place annually in
Finland since 2010. This visually amazing event is
targeted for business leaders and has grown from 700
to 6,000 participants with speakers such as Arianna
Huffington, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore, Sir Richard
Branson, Garri Kasparov and George Clooney to mention
few. The expectation level for this event is extremely
high, but these levels have always been exceeded and tickets are quickly
sold out. Messukeskus has hosted the Finland event since 2014 and is in
charge of the AV services including 29 projectors and multiple screens, the
largest being 500 m².
“We have enjoyed working with Messukeskus building up the annual
Nordic Business Forum. Messukeskus has a lot of very talented people who
do a remarkable job!”
Hans-Peter Siefen, Co-founder & CEO, Nordic Business Forum
