Auditorio Nacional in CDMX is the concert and gala hall with 10,000 seats, lobby with climate-controlled foyers, VIP lounges with independent access from the parking garage, press booth with perimeter LED screen and heavy-duty freight elevator for bulky pieces. Corporate Awards of the country's leading brands run here, along with the galas of the business chambers (CONCAMIN, CONCANACO, COPARMEX, CCE), the annual industry recognitions (AMVO, AMIS, AMA), brand-launch spectacles, centenary celebrations of century-old companies and benefit concerts of corporate foundations. What defines Auditorio Nacional is the mixed pomp: executive protocol on one side and emotional spectacle on the other, with the same merch moving between seats and stage.
