Exhibiting at  Palexpo Geneva

Palexpo Geneva is an exhibition venue in Geneva, Switzerland.

Palexpo is Switzerland's largest exhibition and convention centre, located next to Geneva International Airport, just 4 km from the city centre. Opened in stages from 1981, it offers around 106,000 sqm of indoor space across seven pillar-free halls, plus outdoor esplanade and park areas, and hosts events including the Geneva International Motor Show heritage, watchmaking and international congresses.

The venue

The seven column-free halls range from around 1,500 to 27,000 sqm, with removable soundproof partitions for flexible layouts, supported by 29 conference rooms seating up to around 5,000. Outdoor space includes a 15,500 sqm esplanade and the 21,000 sqm Parc Sarasin, and covered parking handles around 3,000 vehicles with EV charging. The pillar-free halls are well suited to large, open stand layouts.

Exhibiting and stand-building context

Palexpo hosts high-value international fairs and congresses, so stands range from premium brand builds to congress and meeting stands. The column-free halls give designers flexibility, but the venue's technical rules govern rigging, power and build-up. Given the profile of its events, exhibitors confirm hall placement and logistics well ahead.

Getting there

Palexpo's proximity to Geneva Airport is a standout advantage: it is around 500 m away, roughly 10 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by bus, and just 4 km from the city and lakeside. This makes it one of the most airport-accessible major venues in Europe, ideal for international fly-in exhibitors and visitors.
