Where international dialogue takes place
Step into a conference room at the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON) and you enter a setting where some of the world’s most important environment and development decisions have taken shape.
For decades, these rooms have brought together Governments, experts and international partners to negotiate responses to climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and rapid urbanization.
Today, your event can take place in the same United Nations setting, benefiting from the neutrality, expertise and international reach that define UNON.
A campus for every kind of meeting
From a private room for Member State consultations to a conference hall for a major multilateral gathering, UNON offers spaces designed to support a wide range of meeting formats and requirements.
The UNON Division of Conference Services (DCS) can help you find the right space for your event, whether you are convening a technical workshop, high-level meeting, global team, panel discussion, training session or major international conference.
Explore the range of conference rooms and exhibition spaces further down this page. Please feel free to contact our team to discuss your event requirements.
UN expertise wherever you meet

Coming soon: a world-class home for global diplomacy
Trusted, neutral spaces are fundamental to multilateral dialogue and diplomacy. They provide a setting where nations come together to exchange ideas, negotiate solutions and build consensus.
The United Nations is investing in the future of multilateralism through the Conference Facilities Project (CFP) at UNON. Scheduled to open in 2030, the new facilities will expand the UNON capacity, accommodating up to 9,000 participants, and providing state-of-the-art conferencing technology, enhanced energy efficiency, universal accessibility and high-quality services.
The CFP will bring together Governments, international organizations, civil society, experts and partners to strengthen cooperation and shape collective responses to the shared challenges we face.
