South America is a rising star on the radar of the international conference industry. The continent’s stunning natural scenery is increasingly being matched by equally impressive conference facilities, often comparable to the best in the world.
RioCentro, Brazil
RioCentro is, as the name suggests, situated in the internationally renowned city of Rio de Janeiro. When they are not working, delegates can enjoy the famous hospitality of this city, its virtually unequaled beaches and its wide variety of food.
The convention centre is among the most sophisticated in Brazil and is capable of accommodating more delegates than any other convention centre in Latin America. What makes it particularly popular is the fact that it can host events ranging from the very small to the very large.
The centre is equipped with the most modern sound equipment and speakers are able to make use of state of the art audio-visual facilities to improve the quality of their presentations.
RioCentro can easily be reached by taxi, bus, shuttle bus or Rio’s subway system.
