Why Helsinki?
Friendly. Northern. Functional. Human scale. Easy to reach. Helsinki is all these, and much, much more!
Built on the Baltic peninsula located between east and west, it’s a city full of contrasts. Light and white in summer, and dark, but full of warmth in winter. Modern and cutting edge, yet steeped in fascinating past. Cosmopolitan and compact capital where form follows the function, where both sea and deep forests are just a stone’s throw away.
Then there’s the people. Friendly, flexible and innovative. Aspects that have made Finland the world’s most competitive economy, the least corrupt country in the world and number three when it comes to R&D spending per capita.
And the only euro country in Northern Europe. It all adds to the fact that Finland – and Helsinki as its spearhead – is a stable platform to launch a meeting whatever the size.
Come and meet the Helsinki Spirit!
Dedicated conference city
Each year, Helsinki hosts an average of 100 international conventions with more than 20 000 delegates - not forgetting the 1600 international meetings attended by nearly 100 000 participants. On top of that, there are innumerable national conferences, events and theme days. However, it’s about more than dedication that keeps Helsinki ahead of the pack when it comes to arranging meetings, conferences and conventions of any size. It’s about northern professionalism and unparalleled service. And it’s about the substantial benefits of Helsinki.
