History

Today’s Messezentrum Salzburg GmbH was founded as "Salzburger Ausstellungs Zentrum Ges.m.b.H." in 1973 by the City of Salzburg, the Province of Salzburg and the Chamber of Commerce. In 1969 a new, permanent location for the Dult, a public festival of Salzburg, was needed. The municipal council chose a site in the district of Liefering.

In 1974 the first three halls were used for a trade fair (AutoZum). The fourth hall was completed in 1974, with two more halls opened in 1976. Today, there are 15 [2] multi-functional halls.

Trade fairs

The majority of the trade fairs are organized by Reed Exhibitions, which is an internationally operating corporation group, some are organized by the Messezentrum Salzburg GmbH (formerly Salzburger Ausstellungs Zentrum Ges.m.b.H.) and by guest organizers. Since the halls of the Messezentrum are connected with the Salzburgarena through an indoor-access, it is possible to combine the two locations for an event.
