A local Barcelona team, with global standards.

What We Do
We produce exclusive events that reflect brand values and bring together the right audience. In Barcelona, that means knowing when to book venues in Barceloneta before they sell out during MWC week, which Poblenou warehouse has the right ceiling height for your activation, and which El Born restaurant will take a full buyout on a Tuesday in September.
Our Barcelona-based team knows the latest venues to amaze your guests, speaks the language of the suppliers, and understands the logistics of rigging and de-rigging. CH3 Agency Barcelona holds the same global production standards as our events in Singapore, Paris or Bangkok.
We’ve produced 90+ events at most venues in town — from 3,000 PAX summits at Poble Espanyol to high-end cabaret nights for 80 guests — for leading crypto, gaming and tech brands as standalone events and side events during MWC and ICE.
We are a pure-play event production house. Venue sourcing, catering, AV, branding, guest management, on-site execution to post-event ROI reporting — everything handled end to end. One brief. One team. One standard.
Cocktail Parties
Curated networking from the rooftop terraces of Hotel Arts and the W Barcelona to private event spaces in El Born’s medieval streets. During MWC and ICE week, our supplier relationships mean we hold access to venues most agencies can’t get near. We’ve produced cocktail events for 30 to 700+ guests — including the Avalanche Summit II Afterparty.
Gala Dinners & Award Ceremonies
High-end gala dinners in some of Barcelona’s most extraordinary settings — private salons inside Eixample’s modernist buildings, or the open-air terraces of Poble Espanyol overlooking the city. Bespoke menus, exceptional AV production, entertainment and full logistics. We handle all logistics and admin, including special insurance and permitting.
Executive Dinners
Closed-door, invite-only dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants like Disfrutar or Lasarte, private penthouses overlooking Sagrada Família, or discreet cellars in the Gothic Quarter. During EBC, MWC and ICE week, these dinners are where the real deals happen. Chatham House Rules, no logos, no pitches — all staff under NDA.
Conferences & Summits
Multi-day, multi-track conferences in Barcelona’s world-class venue infrastructure — Fira Montjuïc (home to EBC), Fira Gran Via (home to MWC and ICE), Poble Espanyol — where we produced Avalanche Summit I and II for 3,000 and 3,800 attendees — or the gothic Llotja de Mar. We know the venues, their abilities and their quirks.
Brand Experiences & Activations
Immersive activations across Barcelona’s most iconic spaces — Barceloneta’s waterfront, the 22@ innovation district, the Arc de Triomf esplanade, or the rooftops of Eixample. During MWC week, when 100,000+ tech professionals flood the city, a well-executed activation cuts through the noise.
VIP Experiences
Private trackday at the Circuit de Catalunya — Formula 1’s home — an exclusive Mediterranean yacht charter departing Port Vell, or a private rooftop dinner overlooking the Gothic Quarter as the city lights up below. Barcelona’s Mediterranean accessibility makes it one of the best cities in the world for high-touch VIP experiences.
Tradeshow Booths & Product Displays
Full lifecycle exhibition presence at Fira Gran Via for MWC and ICE, and at Fira Montjuïc for EBC. We know the loading bays, the rigging restrictions and the timelines. From concept and design through to manufacturing, build-up, breakdown, storage and shipping.
Game, Brand & Product Launches
Barcelona is one of the best European cities for a game or product launch — reliable permitting and licensing infrastructure, and a conference calendar that creates concentrated launch windows. ICE, Gamesforum, MWC, 4YFN — each puts your product in front of exactly the right audience at exactly the right time.
Retreats & Offsites
From a two-day leadership offsite on the Costa Brava to a company-wide retreat in Sitges or a wine-country programme in the Penedès — we handle transportation, accommodation, programming, team activities, catering and logistics end-to-end. Barcelona is one of Europe’s best retreat bases: international airport, Mediterranean climate, and a huge variety of settings within 90 minutes.

Why Barcelona
Where — Best Event Areas
Not all of Barcelona is equal for events. Each district has its own character, capacity range and audience feel. Explore the Barcelona Neighbourhood Map →
Barcelona’s innovation district — home to tech company HQs, co-working spaces and modern event venues. Ideal for conferences, product launches and corporate gatherings with a contemporary edge. Close to Fira Gran Via — the go-to district during MWC and ICE week.
The most characterful part of the city for intimate events — medieval courtyards, private cellars, hidden restaurant terraces and boutique venues. Best for executive dinners, private receptions and high-touch networking. Michelin-starred restaurants take full buyouts here.
Waterfront venues with Mediterranean views. Rooftop terraces, beach clubs and yacht charters departing Port Vell make this the go-to district for VIP experiences, cocktail parties and exclusive evening events with a sea backdrop.
Home to Fira Montjuïc (EBC venue) and Poble Espanyol — an open-air architectural complex that hosted Avalanche Summit I and II for 3,000 and 3,800 attendees. Exceptional for large-scale conferences, summits and brand activations.
Barcelona’s creative quarter — industrial-chic warehouses, converted factories and flexible event spaces with high ceilings and raw character. Ideal for brand activations, hackathons and community events. Some of the city’s most Instagrammable venues are here.
Boutique neighbourhood with intimate squares and independent venues. Best for smaller community events, casual networking and side events looking to avoid the corporate feel of the main conference zones. Authentic Barcelona character.

Barcelona Event FAQs
What is CH3 Agency Barcelona?
CH3 Agency Barcelona is a leading local event production agency specialising in crypto, gaming and tech events. Since 2020, CH3 has produced 90+ events in the city — from 3,800-person summits at Poble Espanyol to intimate executive dinners in the Gothic Quarter — for leading international brands including Ava Labs, Celo Foundation, Amazon Spain, Microsoft and UBER. CH3 Barcelona is one of the most active of the 12 global CH3 production hubs.
When are the three main conference seasons for side events in Barcelona?
Barcelona has three major activation windows: January (iGaming season — ICE and iGB Affiliate, 70,000+ combined attendees at Fira Gran Via), March (tech season — MWC, 100,000+ attendees, the most competitive week in the city for venues), and September (crypto and Web3 season — European Blockchain Convention at Fira Montjuïc, 6,000+ attendees). Outside these windows, Barcelona is genuinely quiet — which makes it excellent for standalone events where you want world-class infrastructure without the competition for premium venues. See the full Barcelona conference calendar for dates, venues and booking windows.
How do I organise a side event at MWC Barcelona?
Brief CH3 at least 24 weeks before MWC — ideally 6 months out. MWC Barcelona (March, Fira Gran Via, 100,000+ attendees) is the most venue-competitive week in the city: rooftops, private dining rooms and warehouse spaces in Eixample and El Born are held by repeat clients well before the conference is announced. CH3 has produced multiple events during MWC week, including the Naver Business Reception for 100 guests and the GSA Industry Networking Reception. We handle venue sourcing, catering, AV, branding, guest management and on-site execution — one brief, one team. Check the Barcelona conference calendar for MWC dates and booking pressure.
How do I organise a side event at the European Blockchain Convention (EBC) Barcelona?
Brief CH3 12–16 weeks before EBC. The European Blockchain Convention (September, Fira Montjuïc, 6,000+ attendees) is Barcelona’s primary crypto and Web3 conference and the anchor event for blockchain side events in the city. CH3 has produced events during EBC week, including the Notabene EU Summit — the first physical gathering on EU crypto compliance regulation. We know the local Web3 community, the right venues for crypto audiences and what a technically sophisticated attendee expects from a side event. See the Barcelona conference calendar for EBC dates and side event booking windows.
What are the best venues for side events in Barcelona?
The best venue depends on format and audience. For executive dinners and private receptions: El Born and the Gothic Quarter — wine cellars, medieval courtyards and Michelin-starred restaurants like Disfrutar that take full buyouts. For large brand activations and after-parties: Poblenou warehouses and Poble Espanyol (we produced Avalanche Summit I and II there). For Mediterranean waterfront events: Barceloneta and Port Olímpic rooftops, beach clubs and yacht charters departing Port Vell. For conference-adjacent MWC and ICE events: Eixample — close to Fira Gran Via and dense with private dining rooms. For landmark conferences: La Llotja de Mar, Fira Montjuïc and Fira Gran Via. Read the full best event venues in Barcelona guide, or explore the Barcelona event area map by district.
What does a side event in Barcelona cost during MWC or ICE week?
Expect to pay 30–50% above standard rates during MWC and ICE week, as venues apply conference-week premiums and minimum spend requirements rise sharply. A cocktail evening for 80 guests during MWC week with venue, catering, branding and staffing typically runs €15,000–€28,000 all-in. A seated dinner for 40 with a premium venue runs €18,000–€35,000. Outside conference weeks, the same formats come in significantly lower. CH3 provides full itemised budgets at briefing stage — no surprises on invoice day. See our Barcelona event venues guide for venue options across formats and budgets.
Can CH3 produce events across crypto, gaming and tech in Barcelona?
Yes — CH3 is the only event agency in Barcelona specialised in crypto, gaming and tech events. We managed events for Ava Labs (Avalanche Summit I: 3,000 PAX; Summit II: 3,800 PAX) and Celo Foundation (Celo Connect: 800 PAX), iGaming networking events for AffPapa during ICE week, and corporate tech events for Amazon Spain and Naver during MWC. We know the culture, attendee expectations and production requirements of each vertical — and we run back-to-back productions across all three conference seasons without losing quality.
Does CH3 handle tradeshow booths at Fira Gran Via and Fira Montjuïc?
Yes — full lifecycle at both venues. Fira Gran Via hosts MWC and ICE; Fira Montjuïc hosts EBC. CH3 handles creative concept, manufacturing, build-up, breakdown, storage and shipping to your next conference. We know the loading bay schedules, rigging restrictions and build timelines at both venues — the kind of operational knowledge that prevents last-minute crises on show day.
Does CH3 produce exclusive corporate retreats and team offsites near Barcelona?
Yes — CH3 produces exclusive corporate retreats and team offsites for crypto, gaming and tech companies across Catalonia, with Barcelona as the natural base. Barcelona offers 300 days of sunshine, direct international flights from 150+ destinations and a wide range of exclusive retreat settings within 90 minutes: Costa Brava for dramatic clifftop coastal retreats, Sitges for a relaxed Mediterranean format, and Penedès wine estates for something private and immersive. CH3 handles the full programme end-to-end — venue sourcing, transportation, accommodation, curated team activities, catering and logistics — and produces retreats that deliver real outcomes, not just a nice trip. Share your brief and we’ll come back with options.
Can CH3 produce game and product launches in Barcelona?
Yes — Barcelona is one of the best European cities for product and game launches. The city has reliable permitting and licensing infrastructure for outdoor activations, and its conference calendar — ICE, MWC, Gamesforum, 4YFN — creates concentrated launch windows that put new products in front of exactly the right audience. CH3 produces the full launch package: venue, staging, permitting, AV, content capture and post-event ROI reporting, all in-house. Check the Barcelona conference calendar for upcoming conference dates and launch windows.
What makes CH3 different from other event production agencies in Barcelona?
CH3 is a pure-play event production house — not a marketing agency that bolts on events as a side service. Three things set CH3 apart: a permanent local Barcelona team (not freelancers assembled per project) with deep relationships across venues, AV suppliers and rigging crews; native expertise across all three Barcelona verticals — crypto, gaming and tech — built across 90+ events since 2020; and a single point of contact from first brief to last guest out, with fixed fees agreed upfront and no hidden costs.
Does CH3 handle guest management and registration for Barcelona events?
Yes — the full guest journey. Invitation design and distribution, RSVP tracking, registration page setup, guest list management, on-site check-in and post-event reporting. During conference weeks in Barcelona, when attendees are juggling multiple events per day and schedules change at short notice, tight guest management is what separates a smooth arrival experience from a queue at the door. We treat it as a core deliverable.
Can I pay CH3 with cryptocurrency?
Yes. CH3 accepts BTC, ETH and USDC. Invoices can be issued in EUR with crypto settlement — specify your preferred setup at contracting stage. CH3 has supported crypto payment since 2020, given our roots in the Web3 and crypto conference world.
