The IFEMA MADRID Municipal Palace, located in the Campo de las Naciones, is one of the city’s largest convention centers. Designed by Ricardo Bofill’s architectural firm, it opened in 1993 and has been managed by IFEMA MADRID since 2019. It was in this building, in 1995, that the name “euro” was chosen.

Auditorium, multipurpose room, and lobbies
Its main auditorium, measuring 2,810 m² and seating more than 1,800 people, hosts large-scale conferences and conventions. The multipurpose hall, measuring approximately 2,400 m² with a clear height of over 9 meters, can accommodate 1,050 people for a banquet, and the ground-floor lobbies provide an additional 1,882 m² for trade exhibitions and catering. The building also features 32 meeting rooms that accommodate groups ranging from 20 to 350 people.
It is this layout that defines the service: coffee breaks in the lobbies between sessions, working lunches in the meeting rooms, and banquets or closing cocktail receptions in the multipurpose hall—all within the same building and with the conference schedule setting the pace.
