How do our international clients describe us?
"We are conscious that the ESE Congress is a very large meeting, which has a huge impact in terms of environmental impact. It has been so fantastic this year working with Messukeskus! What a better place than Finland to start rolling out green initiatives. We had so many opportunities; to cut-out single-use plastic, to think about the way we manage transportation, to think about the way we manage food and food waste. It has been fabulous partnership and real privilege to roll these sorts of things out and I hope that this will set the tone for the future ESE meetings. Thank you Messukeskus, thank you Helsinki and Finland for helping us to do this."
Professor John Whitworth, ESE President 2023
“Excellent preparation, which led to a perfect meeting! We have never felt more welcome than at Messukeskus. Everyone involved – catering, AV, logistics, and the project manager – worked together as one big team. Extremely helpful and friendly staff!”

"The EAIE Conference and Exhibition in Helsinki was unique thanks to the close collaboration with the venue, Messukeskus Helsinki. From the start, our efforts and ideas to create a more sustainable event aligned with the goals of the venue. "
“Working with the Messukeskus Convention Centre was a very enriching and pleasant
experience. We came with our own concept and met with the designer team, decoration team, and AV production team. They really captured the essence of our event and translated it to the real life, and I am looking forward to working with this team.”
