Salzburg has a rich tradition as an Austrian trade fair venue. Its success is largely attributed to the buying power of the surrounding areas such as the dynamic cross-border investment locations comprising the Salzburg - Berchtesgadener Land - Traunstein Euro-Region, and to the Salzburg Exhibition Center's multifunctional design. Built during the early 1970s, the fairgrounds were constantly enlarged and modernized. Ongoing investments to increase the quality have resulted in a perfected infrastructure over the years.
Modern infrastructure
The 10 halls at the Salzburg Exhibition Center are arranged in a ring and located in the southeastern district of Liefering. Spreading across 70,000 square meters, the Center offers exhibitors a modern infrastructure and ideal conditions for trade fairs and public exhibitions, sales shows, corporate presentations, conferences, corporate, cultural or club events, auctions and other events.
Platform for success
With a separate highway exit and nearly 3,400 parking spaces the fairgrounds are also used as a parking lot for major events. Salzburg Arena, a newly built, multipurpose event venue, is located right behind the exhibition center. The fairgrounds are in close proximity to the airport, the train station and the city center.
