The largest event center in northern Portugal comes to life

On 11^th of September, we accompanied the Altice Forum Braga in its opening ceremony. This new venue is the result of a complete renovation of the facilities of the former Braga Exhibition Park, now converted into a multi-purpose convention center designed to host corporate, congress, sports and musical events.

The building is divided into two main parts, one occupied by the congress center, equipped with the largest auditorium in the north of the country (1,454 seats) and a set of support rooms and subcommission rooms. The other is the large multipurpose pavilion with two diaphanous floors, one of 5,000m2 and the other of 2,700m2 prepared to host concerts, large banquets, exhibitions or sporting events.

The Altice Forum Braga arrives with ambition, and aspires to host events not only from the north of Portugal but also from Galicia (it is just over an hour from Vigo and less than two from Santiago). The inauguration brought together a large part of the Portuguese MICE industry, and was presided over by none other than Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, President of Portugal.
