At GR Ljubljana, we are committed to sustainable business practices and environmental responsibility. In both the renovation and management of our venue, we implement energy-efficient systems, work to reduce our carbon footprint, and promote a circular economy through rigorous waste separation. We foster an inclusive working environment, ensure that the venue is accessible to everyone, and encourage sustainable mobility among our visitors. We build our sustainable vision in collaboration with event organizers and all stakeholders, convinced that only together can we create events that are socially responsible and environmentally friendly.

GR Ljubljana is built by people who believe in the power of collaboration, reliable support, and professional execution. With expertise and dedication, our team ensures that every event runs seamlessly. As members of international associations, we remain at the forefront of industry developments and consistently follow global best practices.

Since its inception in the 1950s, GR Ljubljana has been a stage for landmark moments. As early as 1955, we hosted our first international fairs and exhibitions, and just a year later, the national television broadcaster opened its first studio right here at our venue. Our stages have welcomed world-renowned legends such as Louis Armstrong, while our halls have played host to numerous world championships, international congresses, and fair premieres. The venue features modern functionalist architecture designed by prominent Slovenian architects, and today these structures are protected as cultural heritage.
