TESTIMONIALS

PROMOGIM
"All the preparation for our event went really well, and the team at the Convention Centre was extremely professional and responsive. I'd particularly like to acknowledge their flexibility, since we submitted several modifications to them at the last minute. Our 300 employees appreciated the meeting rooms, the auditorium and the venue as a whole, with its views over the Tête d'Or Park. They also liked the fact the venue was so close to the Marriott hotel."
