Prague Congress Centre’s new hall will add 5,000 sqm of net exhibition space.
Prague Congress Centre (PCC) is expanding to host some of the world’s largest international congresses, with a new exhibition hall due for handover in September 2028 and first events planned from 2029.
The CZK1.35 billion (US$62 million) hall will add 5,000 sqm of net exhibition space, divisible into up to five sections, bringing total exhibition space on the campus to more than 21,000 sqm. PCC says the expanded complex will be able to host events for up to 15,000 attendees. The hall will connect directly to the existing building and its 70 halls and lounges, allowing organisers to run congress, exhibition and social programmes under one roof.
Lenka Žlebková, chair of the board and chief executive of PCC, said international congress organisers today are looking for much more than adequate capacity, with expectations encompassing flexible spaces, cutting-edge technology and sustainability.
PCC is also upgrading its Congress Hall with an L-Acoustics L2 sound system, which the venue says will be the first permanent installation of its kind in the Czech Republic.
PCC says it has enquiries from around 15 world-class congresses, mainly in medicine, whose bookings depend on the hall’s completion. The venue hosted 185 events and more than 210,000 visitors in 2025.
The investment comes as Prague holds its place among the world’s top meeting cities. It places sixth out of 4,728 cities in the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) ranking for 2025, behind Lisbon, Paris and Barcelona.
The city hosted 5,166 events with more than 850,000 delegates in 2025, up 0.5 per cent year on year. Medical meetings remain the strongest market driver, with technology, finance and business events growing in importance.
