Mind-broadening events

VisitAarhus Convention has as its main task to promote Århus & East Jutland as a convention,

conference, incentives, and events destination.

VisitAarhus Convention is a non-profit-making network consisting of approx. 45 enterprises

throughout the region. We cooperate with hotels, conference venues, unconventional venues,

restaurants, music venues, museums, theatres, team-building organisations, outdoor activity

companies - and many others. Together with our partners, it is our task to offer individual,

developmental, business-related and action-packed events in Århus & East Jutland.

The ARoS art museum is a spectacular image-and-events centre presenting art of

the highest quality. It also boasts exceptional conference facilities which provide

unique opportunities for combining business-related events with wonderful art

experiences. If ”the good old days” are more to your liking you can add extra

spice to your conference event by locating it in a reconstructed historical house

in The Old Town, for example in the Helsingør Theatre, the Hobro Warehouse, or

the Mintmaster’s Mansion. If your preference is for a location in the countryside

you can find perfect peace and quiet at, for example, the ’Fuglsøcentret’ confe-

rence centre at the foot of the beautiful rolling hills of ‘Mols Bjerge’.

ExploreÅrhus and East Jutland

Århus is situated in the middle of the beautiful East Jutland area in the heart of Denmark.

In East Jutland there are, among its many other attractions, the unique glacial landscapes - the rol-ling hills of the ‘Mols Bjerge’; the beautiful Silke-borg lakes; large areas of beautiful woodlands; the ‘Himmelbjerget’; miles of sandy bathing beaches; and the Bay of Århus which is the perfect spot for water casting, windsurfing, angling, jet-boating, etc.

Århus – the ”capital” of East Jutland – was found-ed by the Vikings more than 1000 years ago. The city has approx. 300,000 inhabitants, including a student population of nearly 40,000. Århus is a thriving modern city where technology, know-ledge, art, culture, history, and a vibrant city-life all co-exist.

If you want state-of-the art conference

facilities, you will find 33 conference

rooms at the Radisson SAS / Scandinavian

Congress Center; superb auditoria and

halls at Concert Hall Aarhus; conference

rooms from another world at The Japa-

nese Garden; or you can meet the past at

Unconventional conferences and events

The venues, the things to do and see, and the events – of an unconventional nature of course – are all inspiring and challenging in Århus. In addition to stimulating all of the senses, a convention creates loyalty, team spirit, satisfaction and, not least, new energy.

There are opportunities galore: diving with sharks; sightseeing from the back seat of a Harley Davidson; a company golf tournament; exploring the art museum; a banquet in a castle or an old mansion; conferencing in a turbine hall, an old equestrian hall, or a historical theatre

– the only limits are set by your imagination.

”I was surprised by all the possibilities which the Århus area has to offer. I had al-

ways thought that Copenhagen had much more to offer, but I have to admit that År-

hus and East Jutland has just as much - for example - riding as a back-seat passenger

on a Harley Davidson through Djursland and the beautiful rolling hills of the ‘Mols

Bjerge’; a celebration in The Old Town, or at the ‘Turbinehallen’ event location, or at

the Varna mansion, and so on and so on. In Århus and East Jutland, the only limits

are set by your imagination.” Maria Rosenlind, Capgemini
