EXPOFORUM Exhibition Center St. Petersburg: About

EXPOFORUM is a new convention-and-exhibition centre that opened in St. Petersburg on October 7, 2014. It is the most cutting-edge venue of its kind anywhere in Russia – or Europe – for holding business and entertainment events of any size and format – exhibitions, conventions, forums, sports and cultural events.

The concept and architectural design of the complex were developed by a consortium of the leading architectural firms Gerasimov & Partners, NPS Tchoban Voss, Tchoban & Partners and Proektservis LLC. The joint efforts of designers and builders made it possible to create not only a multipurpose complex bringing together the combined experience of the largest European and Asian convention centres, but also a unique work of architecture capable of vying for the title of symbol of St. Petersburg.

The EXPOFORUM Convention and Exhibition Centre is the largest specialised venue of its kind in St. Petersburg. It consists of:

Three exhibition pavilions,
Convention centre with a total holding capacity of 30,000 people (68 conference halls),
St. Petersburg’s first HILTON hotels,
Business centre,
Customs-and-logistics complex,
Cafes, restaurants and other such infrastructural amenities.

The Super E symbol in the logo for the convention-and-exhibition centre repeats the architecture of the complex itself: three exhibition pavilions and a convention centre form the four parallel elements of the Super E, joined by a passageway. EXPOFORUM has been built in full compliance with the standards of the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI).

Experience momentum – that’s EXPOFORUM’s slogan, conveying the idea of realizing the potential of all participants on the convention-and-exhibition market: growing the business of organisers and exhibitors, giving local residents the opportunity to attend business and entertainment events, developing business tourism, and helping the Northern Capital capture a sizeable share of the global meetings market.

Unique Advantages Of The Complex:

One of the complex’s strengths is its multifunctionality and transformability.

The passageway connecting all of the EXPOFORUM buildings lets visitors feel comfortable in any weather.
EXPOFORUM is situated near Pulkovo International Airport, at the intersection of two main transportation arteries. Total area of the complex – 56 ha.
The column-free space of three pavilions (spanning 13,080 sq. metres each) ensures maximum utilisation of the exhibition space. It’s a one-of-a-kind structure for St. Petersburg: 90-metre spans are supported on just two bearing points.
The high number of flexible gates makes it possible to get oversized equipment and exhibits into the pavilions. The floor of the pavilions is set at ground level, and its reinforced construction makes it possible to display large and heavy exhibits.
The false floor makes it possible to run engineering utilities to any point of the hall (water, electricity, low-power networks, Internet). In the exhibition pavilions, engineering channels have been laid every 3 m.
The ceiling height of the pavilions ranges from 11 to 18 m, and in one of the halls of the convention centre – it’s adjustable.
The mobile sound-deadening partitions make it possible to change the configuration of the conference halls, thereby increasing or decreasing the space and number of seating areas, forming utility corridors, exhibition, buffet and banquet zones.
The highest-capacity hall in the conference centre can also be used as a movie theatre: it includes a 1,121-seat amphitheatre and a universal wide-format 24×10-m screen – one of the biggest in St. Petersburg.
18 mobile telescopic spectator seats (number of seats – 2016).
State-of-the-art security and access-control systems:
- video surveillance
