Connected to the Messezentrum Salzburg is the Salzburgarena, a multi-functional event hall which is part of the center.

With about 37[1] trade fairs and exhibitions, the Messezentrum Salzburg attracts up to 591,599 visitors each year.

Total size of exhibition halls: 34,828 m² (without Salzburgarena) The majority of the trade fairs are organized by Reed Exhibitions, which is an internationally operating corporation group, some are organized by the Messezentrum Salzburg GmbH (formerly Salzburger Ausstellungs Zentrum Ges.m.b.H.)

Since the halls of the Messezentrum are connected with the Salzburgarena through an indoor-access, it is possible to combine the two locations for an event.
