The Valencia Conference Centre was built by the studio of the famous British architect Norman Foster, winner of the American Institute of Architects gold medal, of the Pritzker Prize in 1999 and of the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts in 2009. Its industrial style and bold forms have made it one of the flagship projects in his career. Moreover, the Valencia Conference Centre is environmentally aware, evidence of this is, its rooftop photovoltaic panels which have generated over 3 million kWh since they were installed in 2008.

The Centre is located on the main northwest approach road into the city. It is seven minutes from the Valencia-Manises international airport and eight minutes from the city centre and the high-speed train station. It has excellent transport links to the rest of the city via metro, taxi, bus, bike and tram.

There is a flourishing business district around the Centre, with a host of restaurants and leisure alternatives on offer for visitors.
