Conference spaces
The congress spaces facing the sea of the Porto Antico di Genova.
In the Magazzini del Cotone, a 4 floors building divided into 7 modules, there are 13 rooms of various capacities, among which the Auditorium with nearly 1500 seats characterized by a striking central stage stands out. To complete the offer, the 8,500 square meters of areas that can be set up and the suggestive outdoor areas overlooking the sea, make the congress spaces of the Porto Antico in Genoa one of the main locations for Italian congresses.

Visit it virtually…as if in person with the new Virtual Tour
Since July 2023, the Congress Center has been equipped with a state-of-the-art virtual tour. Created by Stefano Ravera, a Ligurian professional specializing in Space 3D, the Magazzini del Cotone Congress Center can now be visited online with pinpoint accuracy.
The system, which can be accessed via the link below, allows for 3D visualizations of the entire facility’s rooms and spaces, offering conference, trade show, and event organizers the opportunity to remotely tour the spaces in detail and measure them to prepare appropriate exhibition design.
For the digital reconstruction, consisting of approximately 1,500 scans, a high-precision scanner was used, capable of recreating a virtual twin of the original.
