Geneva
Swiss and International

At the heart of Europe, the "peace capital" is a very accessible and even major Conference venue. Its geographical position as well as its communication/transport infrastructure offers the unique opportunity to gather attendees coming from every continent. Although, Geneva is recognized for being a very comfortable and accessible city with plenty of leisure activities, its lake and neighboring mountains contributes to its popularity. Throughout the world, it's better known as the United Nations' European headquarters and the head office of the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Based on the willingness to create the best balance between the acoustics and a ceremonial hall, with a grandiose and solemn atmosphere, the Assembly Hall has been built in February 1932 by Broggi and got finally decorated by Ragnar Östberg of Sweden and Howard Morley Robertson of Great Britain in the middle of 1935. Several renovations had then followed, witht the tables and chairs renovated by decorator Charlotte Perriand and most of the technical features being changed in the nineties.
