Venue
Tampere Hall was inaugurated in 1990 and is the largest congress and concert centre in Scandinavia.
Its modern architecture and integral works of art make Tampere Hall a sight worth seeing in itself.
Tampere Hall is located on the edge of Sorsapuisto Park, beside Sorsalampi duck pond, within a short walking distance of the city centre.
Tampere – the SoC city – is situated in the heart of beautiful Finnish Lakeland.
The banks of the Tammerkoski rapids still feature old traditional industrial buildings
which have now been converted to house pleasant restaurants, pubs or high-tech companies.
Tampere is also a city of theatres, arts, sciences, sport and modern industrial culture.
