Alpexpo

Alpexpo is a convention center in Grenoble featuring extensive glass and steel structures divided into distinct zones: Alpes Congres for conferences, Exhibition Park for trade shows, and Summum for performances and events. The separate halls allow the venue to accommodate multiple activities at once and host everything from intimate seminars to large international exhibitions.

The center opened in 1967 and served as a key transportation hub during the 1968 Winter Olympics held in Grenoble. It evolved from supporting the Olympic Games into a multipurpose venue hosting conferences, exhibitions, and large-scale events.

The complex earned recognition as Patrimoine du XXe siècle for its architectural significance and contribution to modern French structural design.

The complex is well connected and relatively easy to navigate thanks to its clear division into separate zones and areas. Visitors can easily locate their event spaces and find their way around without difficulty.

The venue earned recognition as a 20th-century heritage site and has alternated with Dresden since 2012 as host of Semicon Europa, one of the world's largest semiconductor industry exhibitions. This status reflects how the buildings became an important example of modern French architecture.
