The first client events in Dolní Vítkovice began in 2012. The area has hosted thousands of them to date.

In this vast complex, smaller and larger corporate meetings, Christmas parties, balls, celebrations, concerts, sports events, large international conferences, and of course, massive multi-day festivals now take place. Several events can occur independently on the same day. For organizers, the most important thing is to book the chosen venue in advance. “Some events and dates are booked years in advance, but I would still ask if there is availability. We have the catalog and contacts on our website. There are few places that can elevate even a small corporate event to an extraordinary experience with their monumentality and unique genius loci, and Dolní Vítkovice undoubtedly belongs to them. The advantage of the area is its complexity and the variety of rental options. You can, for example, hold a smaller corporate meeting in a club located at the top of the Bolt Tower, or directly in the interior of the blast furnace,” says Georgios Leontidis, Sales Director of Dolní Vítkovice.

The Grand Hall, with a capacity of 1,500 people, is particularly suitable for national corporate meetings, conferences, or concerts. The only new building in the area is the World of Technology, designed primarily for educating children. It features a modern conference cinema with a capacity of 200 people and can also be rented separately. Authentic industrial spaces such as Compress Hall (up to 100 people) or Brick House (up to 400 people) at Hlubina are also very popular. Brick House, the former old baths.

Every meeting with clients, where I can witness their initial amazement, always reaffirms what an extraordinary achievement has been accomplished here. I have the area in my heart. And in my head, of course,” adds Georgios Leontidis with a smile. Dolní Vítkovice are literally created for trendy family days. Smart entertainment indoors, along with outdoor sports activities, barbecues, and concerts. Under the blast furnace, there is also a sliding roof, and the space is often used for smaller festivals. “Choosing the right space is just the beginning. We can handle complete technical arrangements for the event, catering services, accommodation at Hotel VP1, and create accompanying programs. The client must feel comfortable and know that they have a partner who wants, just as much as they do, for the event to be a success,” adds Renata Červená, Executive Director of Dolní Vítkovice. DOV
