Ten Years of IFEMA's North Conference Centre

Ten years contributing to the intense activity of IFEMA CONFERENCES AND CONVENTIONS, one of the main business lines of the Madrid trade fair institution. 

On 3 April 2002, the then President of the Madrid Autonomous Region, Alberto Ruiz Gallardón, inaugurated the new North Conference Centre, which was part of the second extension of the IFEMA trade fair site. This extension involved the incorporation of the new Conference Centre and two other halls. This brought the surface area of Feria de Madrid to 150,000 m2, in line with the size and resources of the leading European trade fair sites. The investment was 95 million euros, all generated by IFEMA's own activity and resources, as was the case for the other extensions. Other improvements included new parking spaces nearer to the halls, and new accesses to the motorway linking the site directly to Barajas International Airport. Later the moving walkways would be installed to connect the South and North Gates via the Central Avenue of Feria de Madrid.
