Al-Muntada

Al-Muntada - The platform for dialogue & meetings accommodates 120 people and is equipped with the latest audio-visual technology.
The idea behind “Al-Muntada” is to create a space where Lebanese and foreign committees and organizations, can express themselves freely - whether to debate a certain issue or to organize a workshop or training. It is meant to be a podium to express ideas and to hold conferences, serving the Lebanese society’s best interest and aiming at improving the life of the citizens.
