O2 Arena in Prague to add congress centre
25/07/2018
The O2 Arena in Prague intends to add other valences to the venue, which receives mainly shows, but also corporate events and some congresses. It is also home to one of the leading ice hockey teams in Prague. To host more events, and of a more varied nature, steps have been taken for the construction of a congress centre and a multipurpose room. The opening is scheduled for the summer of next year and in 2020 there are already conferences booked at the new centre. The complex will be called O2 Universum. In the same year, Betsport, the venue's owner and manager, hopes to strengthen the complex with a four star hotel with 300 bedrooms.
O2 Universum will be connected to the arena, greatly increasing the available event area.
Some numbers:

13,000 sqm of commercial area
