Denmark's second-largest city combines the energy of a university town with the convenience of a compact destination. Home to world-class research, a thriving food scene and renowned cultural institutions, Aarhus brings knowledge, culture and quality of life together in a distinctly Danish way. With forests, beaches and the landscapes of eastern Jutland close by, there's plenty for delegates to discover beyond the meeting room.
