History
Established in 1984.
Als erste Veranstaltung überhaupt im Kongresszentrum fand am 5./6. September 1984 der 2. Schweizerische Videotex-Kongress statt. Er vereinigte die Schweizer Väter dieser Vorläufer-Technologie des Internet mit den Bildschirmtext-Gründern aus Deutschland und England.
Das Congress Center hatte damals EWTCC, European World Trade and Convention Center, geheissen.
