Congress Graz is located at the capital city of Styria Graz， and is an economic， scientific and educational hub. No other Austrian city can offer a more effective conglomeration of these sectors than Graz. With venues such as Congress Graz it is not surprising that the city is such a popular choice for staging national and international symposiums， meetings， conferences and congresses. It can offer exactly what each organiser has in mind with a venue that makes every event an unforgettable experience. Congresses， concerts， trade fairs， balls and soccer matches are all that bit more special at MCG.

Graz has a long and proud history of staging exhibitions and trade fairs. In 1833， the "Flowers and Industry Festival" was held and was the first everexhibition to be staged in Austria. This event marked the start of the successful development of Graz as a host city.

When Stadthalle Graz was inaugurated in 2002， the city gained both an excellent， large-scale expo complex and an architecturally attractive multifunctional hall， ideally suited for hosting a wide range of events. MCGs congress + event department has cooperated with a vast array of the biggest international names and organisations in culture， sport， science and commerce.

Organisers can rely on a wealth of expertise and experience gained over many years. Customers benefit from professional advice and expert support services - from the planning phase right to the actual implementation. MCG is here to make sure that every requirement is met and that every great idea and special request is built into your event. For over ten years， MCG has been an ？koprofit （eco-profit） partner and is attracting plenty of attention with its 1512-module photovoltaic project on the roof of hall A. Being aware， sustainable and green– these are the buzzwords for a successful business in tomorrows world. While MCG previously only hosted green events such as a Biomass Conference or an e-mobility event， it has now integrated environmentally friendly equipment and practices into its own activities.
