Shared Success Stories

/03

The convention center is a neat, clean, and accessible place, with a substantial exhibition space and direct loading access. The place seems definitely well managed and can offer diverse services to convention and conference organizers.

I went there during Geoconvention 2026, and it was incredible how the space remained constantly clean, despite hundreds of attendants, including the restrooms, which is I feel a very strong point.

The space is really nice to spend time within, with some seats at quieter places available if you want to work in parallel of the conference.

S. Lenard

“I attended a two-day conference here and had a great experience. The environment was welcoming, the staff were friendly, and everything ran smoothly. The main hall was spacious, with panels held in separate rooms on another floor. Conveniently located downtown with big parking nearby. Note that the centre has two buildings across the street, North and South.”

A. Raviz

“After 37 years of hosting Art Market at the CTCC, it feels like home. Our show is hosted every November.”
