Top 10 best corporate meeting venues in Spain

¡Buenos dias! Not only is Spain a favorite destination among sun-seeking holiday-makers, but it’s also pretty popular among deal-seeking international companies. 

With Madrid and Barcelona being its two main business hubs, other large Spanish cities, such as Seville, Bilbao, and Valencia, are also home to emerging markets and fast-growing businesses.

Spain is home to some of the best conference venues and event spaces in Europe. 

We’ve compiled a list of the top corporate meeting venues in Spain so you don’t have to spend time searching for the perfect venue. From the green Basque Country down to arid Andalusia, all locations are reachable by public transport and offer wifi access. 

Whether you’re looking for a large conference center or convenient meeting rooms, we’ve got you covered.

What to look for when sourcing a venue

Finding the right event venue involves juggling several factors. First, the venue must accommodate the right number of attendees and have suitable meeting spaces with the right equipment and facilities. The location should also have good transport links and sufficient parking if required.

If you’re hosting a drinks reception or a conference of several days, it’s important to think about food and beverage options, as well as accommodation if required. The overall cost, including any additional fees (important to keep an eye out for hidden costs) will also determine your venue hire.

The venue you ultimately pick will also be determined by the type of event you’re hosting. Some of the events companies hold at corporate meeting venues might include:

• Meetings with clients or customers: a meeting venue can provide a professional setting creating a positive impression and helping to build constructive relationships.
• Internal meetings or training sessions: an external venue can provide a neutral location for team meetings or training sessions, supporting productive discussions and encouraging participation.
• Conferencing or events: the right space can provide the facilities required for larger-scale hybrid events such as seminars, lectures or product launches.
• Team building activities: the ideal location for off-site training or group activities, helping to develop team cohesion and boost morale.

Let’s see what Spain has to offer. ¡Vamos!
