The ICD House of Arts & Culture (ICD House)
ICD House is a multi-purpose location that has been designed to provide an independent forum for discussions and cultural exchange between the diverse groups and individuals from Berlin’s civil society including politicians and diplomats, cultural practitioners, artists, musicians, academics, civil servants, and private sector representatives.

The Location

ICD House has a large, open plan, loft-gallery structure of 500m2 and can host up to 500 people. The area is spread across different platforms that overlap and overlook one another, providing the perfect venue for both intimate gatherings and large events. The venue houses a conference area with a stage, an open-plan hall with a stage (ideal for music and dance performances), bar and catering areas, and two large outdoor smoking areas (terraces). All necessary facilities, furnishings, and equipment are available including professional lighting and sound systems, modern communication and presentation equipment, such as screens, projectors, phone lines and wireless internet access, furniture and seating for both social and academic events.

The ICD House is therefore perfectly suited for a wide range of events including:

Speeches, Panel discussions, Award Ceremonies
The ICD House conference area can seat 150 people and is therefore ideal for presentations, interactive discussions, and ceremonies. Distinguished guests who have spoken at the ICD House include Ms. Ségolène Royal (Former Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party of France), President Dr. Alfredo Palacio (Former President of Ecuador), President Emil Constantinescu (Former President of Romania), Janez Janša (Former Prime Minister of Slovenia), Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz (Former Prime Minister of Poland), and Jack McConnell (Former First Minister of Scotland).

Gala Events, Festivals, Launch Events, Exhibitions, Film Screenings, Literary Readings, Workshops and other Social Events

The unique design of the ICD House makes it perfect for larger events that include a range of different components such as music, dance, speeches, catering, food and drink, exhibitions, and workshops.
