About the venue
The Trafo Baden, originally a transformer assembly hall dating back to the 1920s, is a prime example of effective building conversion in conjunction with new construction.

The complex includes a cinema with five theatres, a fitness centre with Turkish bath, several restaurants and a convention centre. The current expansion of the Culture and Convention Centre will be completed in 2014: The impressive Hall 37 will become a covered town square that provides a sheltered link between Bruggerstrasse and Brown Boveri Platz. Hall 36 will retain its industrial character and will house new events rooms for exhibitions and conventions. Hall 38 will be converted into a modern hotel, owner-occupied apartments and small to medium-sized conference rooms. The Trafo 2 extension will attract 140,000 visitors a year.

Conveniently located in the very heart of the City of Baden, the Trafo Baden Convention Centre is a mere distance from the train station. Baden, a medieval town of 18 000 - and with that the second largest city in the Canton of Aargau - is famous for its thermal baths, its Grand Casino and its multicultural population, thanks to large Swiss and international corporations which call Baden their home.

With over 4000 sqm and a total of 24 event halls, meeting rooms and exhibition spaces, the Trafo Baden is one of the largest and most flexible event locations both in the greater Zurich area and in Switzerland. Meeting space sizes go from 25 to 1400 sqm and a wide array of events from corporate presentations, to concert and expositions up to 2000 people can be hosted here.
