Arriving in good time
During the festive season in December, traffic tends to get heavily congested in Ljubljana. Visitors are advised to leave home earlier than usual to avoid arriving late.
Cankarjev dom is a professional congress organiser and a pillar of Slovenia’s congress industry. Our mission is organising meetings.
We organise the events entrusted to us with experience, expertise and technological support. The challenges we have been confronting these past years encouraged us to develop new ways of planning and implementing.
We have entered the digital age with the upgraded EventsAir meeting management software, a platform hosting countless events around the world. A tried-and-tested technology, we have used it for registration and communicating with participants, expert committees, for accepting and evaluating contributions (abstracts and papers), planning exhibitions, organising posters and numerous other tasks requisite for the successful implementation of a congress or conference.
The OnAir module today allows for unlimited meetings in an online or hybrid format.
... as well as things you don’t yet know are possible.
This includes congresses, symposia, conferences, professional, business, and social gatherings, seminars, lectures, workshops, business exhibitions and fairs, presentations, celebrations, anniversaries, solemn academies, award ceremonies, receptions, business and festive dinners, parties, proms, charity dances, and more.
Face-to-face, hybrid, and online.
Cankarjev dom boasts 23 multi-purpose conference halls and represents the largest purpose-built convention centre in Slovenia. A big advantage is the diversity of spaces for different convention needs. The main venue, 2000-seat Gallus Hall is the largest hall of this type in Slovenia (auditorium) and embodies the concept of extraordinary acoustics.
Venue with a total surface of 36.000 sq. m. can accommodate up to 5000 visitors, with extensive lobby exhibits it has already carried out a number of conferences with large accompanying exhibitions.
An dministrative centre of Ljubljana, where Cankarjev dom is located, is easily accessible on foot, by car or by public transport. Under the Square of the Republic there is a large parking garage, and the latest one is just a stone's throw away under the Congress Square. Both are sufficient to cover the needs of motorised conference guests. A great advantage of the location is that all the city's attractions, and especially the key hotels are within walking distance. In these terms Cankarjev dom is a very friendly and nice location to conference guests.
