The Riocentro was built in the late 1970’s and it has a wide selection of conference suites and exhibition halls, and it has the capacity to handle over 4,500 people at any one time. It will also be home to several indoor Olympic events in 2016 as the city won the right to host the 2016 Olympic Games back in 2009. As well as the Riocentro, other top conference venues exist across the city, including at the Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro and at the Sheraton Rio Hotel.
