Ifema has established the Palacio Municipal as venue for professional and entertainment events

19.10.2022

Over 200,000 professionals have visited since Ifema Madrid took over its management in 2019, with more than 100 events taking place in this iconic architectural landmark.

Since Ifema took over the management of the Palacio Municipal de Congresos in 2019, more than 200,000 professionals have attended the more than 100 events which have been hosted in this economic architectural landmark in Madrid. Ifema has made major improvements and renovations to the Palacio Municipal since it took over its management, making a hefty investment of more than 5 million euros to renovate and upgrade the facilities, improving both the infrastructure and its connectivity.

Improvements have been made to the infrastructure, such as waterproofing the roof of the building with the EPDM system with RMA to protect the material from corrosion and improve water drainage; a total of 1,812 seats in the Auditorium have been replaced with Avantgarde upholstery by Euro Spardling and solid beech arms and backs; and the stage rigging has been enhanced with four new truss lines and new control switches. In addition, all the emergency lighting has been renewed with LED technology, the uninterruptible power supply system (UPS), as well as the installation of a new capacity control system in the different areas.

Regarding the connectivity improvements, during the almost four years of it has been managing the facility, Ifema has been rolling out 6th generation Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the Palacio Municipal, which now has one of the fastest networks on the market with Cisco 802.11ax technology. This technology reduces latency by up to 75%, as well as interference, improves data transfer rates by around 40%, and uses up to 66% less electricity than older technology. The emergency public address system has also been upgraded to allow different messages can be broadcast simultaneously in different areas to allow safe, properly controlled evacuation, ensuring compliance with European standard EN 54.
