Atakent International Exhibition Centre
Central Asia's largest exhibition complex — our home venue since 2003.
The history and scale of Atakent
Atakent International Exhibition Centre opened in 1979 as the Kazakh SSR's exhibition complex and has since become the region's principal exhibition venue. Today it occupies 650,000 m² at the heart of Almaty, with pavilions, conference halls, restaurants, parking and extensive landscaped grounds.
We have access to more than 19,000 m² of indoor exhibition space and substantial open-air grounds for oversized exhibits. Modern engineering infrastructure — power supply, climate control, internet, stage equipment and security systems — allows us to host trade fairs and conferences of any scale.
Atakent is 30 minutes from the international airport and 10 minutes from the city centre, making it convenient for international delegations and local visitors alike. Conference rooms, meeting rooms, restaurants and service facilities are all available on site.
