Ban Jelačić conference hall

200
201m2

Planning a significant conference or event that needs both capacity and brightness? Ban Jelačić delivers 201 m² with seven windows—more natural light than any other conference hall. When you need to accommodate 80-120 people in a space that feels open and energizing, this is your venue.

Substantial Capacity with Character

At 201 m², Ban Jelačić bridges the gap between mid-sized halls and massive convention spaces. It accommodates 80-120 people comfortably, providing serious capacity without the impersonal scale of 300+ person venues. The space feels substantial yet still maintains connection.

Very Long Rectangular Layout

The dimensions of 5.80m - 8.75m x 26.47m create an exceptionally long, narrow rectangle. This distinctive shape naturally channels attention forward, making it ideal for presentations, keynotes, or training where everyone needs clear sightlines to the front.

Unmatched Natural Light

Seven Windows

With seven windows, Ban Jelačić offers more natural light than any other conference hall we've covered. This isn't just a nice feature—it's a game-changer for all-day events. Natural light dramatically affects energy, mood, and attention span for 80-120 people spending hours together.

Sustained Energy Throughout the Day

Multi-hour conferences and training sessions often struggle with afternoon energy crashes. Seven windows flooding the space with daylight help combat fatigue, maintain alertness, and create an environment where people actually want to stay engaged.

Open, Airy Atmosphere

The combination of 201 m² and seven windows creates an open, airy feeling rare in large conference spaces. Participants don't feel trapped in a windowless bunker. The connection to outside light and life makes extended events more bearable.

Professional Audio-Visual Capabilities

Complete Sound System

When addressing 80-120 people in a long narrow space, professional audio becomes essential. The built-in sound system ensures your message reaches everyone clearly, from front row to back, without presenters exhausting themselves projecting their voice.

Multiple Display Options

Projection screens and plasma TVs provide flexible display throughout the long space. Multiple viewing points ensure everyone has clear visibility regardless of where they're seated in the 26+ meter length.

Advanced Lighting Control

Sophisticated lighting allows you to balance natural daylight with presentation needs. Dim sections for optimal screen visibility while maintaining enough light for note-taking and participant engagement.

Premium Environment

Carpeted Throughout

Quality carpeting manages acoustics in a large space where dozens of conversations and hundreds of footsteps would otherwise create chaos. The acoustic dampening makes the difference between professional atmosphere and noisy confusion.

Wallpapered Walls

Wallpaper adds warmth and visual interest to the long space, preventing the sterile feeling that large conference rooms often have. Premium finishing signals this is professional event space for important gatherings.

Room Specifications

Comfortable Ceiling Height

The 2.60m ceiling provides adequate vertical space for the 201 m² footprint. Proper ceiling height supports air circulation and comfort when 80-120 people occupy the space for extended periods.

Two Access Points

Two entry/exit points positioned along the 26+ meter length manage traffic flow for 80-120 people. Strategic placement prevents bottlenecks and supports smooth transitions during breaks.

When Ban Jelačić Excels

Large Conferences

Annual company conferences, industry events, or training programs for 80-120 participants need this scale. The space accommodates general sessions, maintains professional presentation standards, and keeps everyone comfortable throughout the day.

All-Day Training Events

Training 60-100 people for extended periods benefits enormously from the natural light. The seven windows help maintain energy and focus through afternoon sessions when windowless rooms would leave everyone struggling.

Product Launch Events

Launching products or services to substantial audiences? Ban Jelačić provides professional presentation capabilities with the natural light and openness that keeps audiences engaged rather than trapped in a dark auditorium.

Large Town Halls

Company-wide meetings, Q&A sessions, or major announcements for 80-120 employees work well here. The audio system ensures everyone hears clearly, and the space feels appropriate for significant organizational gatherings.

Multi-Company Events

Hosting events where multiple companies or organizations gather? The 201 m² capacity and professional amenities support sophisticated gatherings that represent your organization well.

Central Zagreb Advantages

Premier Location

Being in Zagreb's heart signals importance for major events. The central professional address reflects that your conference or gathering matters and respects the time of 80-120 busy professionals.

Comprehensive Access

Attendees navigate confidently whether they're local or visiting. Hotels, restaurants, transportation, and business services surround the venue. Large events benefit from this infrastructure more than small meetings.

Planning Your Event

Capacity Optimization

Theater style accommodates approximately 100-130 people, classroom setup fits 70-90, boardroom style works for 60-70 (though this is less common at this scale), and U-shape seats 50-60. The very long layout particularly favors forward-facing configurations. Work with the events team for optimal setup.

Managing the Length

At 26+ meters long, consider the viewing experience for back rows. Multiple displays help, but you might also position presenters strategically or use stages to ensure visibility throughout the space.

Audio-Visual Coordination

Large events in long spaces require careful A/V planning. Discuss sound reinforcement throughout the length, display positioning for good visibility, and lighting that balances natural light with presentation needs.

Catering Logistics

With 80-120 people, food service requires planning. Coffee breaks, lunch service, or reception refreshments need coordination for timing, flow, and space allocation. The two access points and long layout affect service strategy.

Maximizing Natural Light

Schedule Strategically

Take full advantage of those seven windows by scheduling your event during daylight hours. Morning and afternoon sessions particularly benefit from natural illumination.

Balance with Presentations

Work with the events team to ensure window coverings allow control when presentations require dimming. The goal is leveraging natural light while maintaining presentation quality.

Comparing Large Conference Options

Ban Jelačić (201 m²) sits between Ban Zrinski (126 m²) and Centrum Hall (300 m²). Its distinctive advantage is seven windows—more natural light than any other option. Choose Ban Jelačić when capacity needs are substantial but natural light and openness matter as much as size.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What's the realistic capacity for different configurations?

Ban Jelačić accommodates approximately 100-130 people theater style, 70-90 classroom style, 60-70 boardroom style (though less common at this scale), and 50-60 U-shape. The very long 26.47m length particularly favors theater and classroom layouts where everyone faces forward. For comfortable interaction and good engagement, groups of 80-110 work ideally. Discuss specific needs with the events team.

2. How does the very long, narrow shape affect the event experience?

The 26+ meter length means back rows sit quite far from the front. This works well for theater-style presentations with good A/V (screens, sound), but makes interactive discussions challenging. Multiple displays and proper sound reinforcement are essential. Consider using staging or walking presentations to maintain engagement throughout the length. The shape is less suitable for highly interactive formats where everyone needs to see each other.

3. Why choose Ban Jelačić over Centrum Hall which has similar amenities?

Ban Jelačić (201 m²) has seven windows versus Centrum Hall's four windows—better natural light ratio for the space. Choose Ban Jelačić for 80-120 people when natural light is a priority, or Centrum Hall (300 m²) for 100-200+ when capacity matters more than light. Ban Jelačić feels more intimate and brighter relative to its size, while Centrum offers more space and flexibility.

4. Is this room suitable for multi-day conferences?

Absolutely. The seven windows make Ban Jelačić particularly well-suited for multi-day events where natural light helps maintain energy across consecutive days. The professional amenities support sustained use, and the capacity handles significant attendance. For multi-day bookings, discuss equipment storage, daily setup needs, and whether the space remains dedicated to your event or requires daily resets.

5. Can we use the length creatively for exhibitions or networking areas?

The 26+ meter length could potentially support exhibition areas or networking zones at one end while maintaining presentation space at the other, creating a more dynamic event layout. However, this reduces seating capacity. Discuss your specific vision with the events team—they can advise whether your intended layout works with the room's proportions and access points, or suggest configurations that maximize the unique shape.
