We have also successfully renewed all asphalted areas on the premises of Sokolniki Exhibition and Convention Centre in the summertime. Mitkovsky proezd is now equipped with a new roadbed thus making the avenues of approach much more convenient and comfortable. Moreover, new asphalt has found its way along Pavilion 11.1 from Mitkovsky proezd to Festival Square, engulfing one of Sokolniki ECC’s guest parking lots. All the pavilions now provide high-speed access to a wireless Internet connection. Sokolniki Exhibition and Convention Centre provides a full range of services for organizing and holding large-scale events varying from corporate events to international exhibitions and forums: stand and mobile pavilion construction, halls and conference rooms rental, advertising services, catering and much more.
