Spain. After eleven years of constant activity hosting conferences in a unique building, the Conference Centre in Valencia is celebrating the first anniversary of its photovoltaic solar energy roof. Installed last year, it is the first public building in the city of this kind. The commitment to renewable energies and respect for the environment were the reasons why the International Association of Congress Centres Innovation Award chose it as the only project in Spain offering a new management approach.

This spectacular conference centre designed by British architect Norman Foster has hosted over 1,800 events and been honoured with various certificates, including the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, the “Q” for Quality and the Seal of European Excellence 400+. www.palcongres-vlc.com
