Venue
IUI 2027 will take place on 8–11 February 2027 at Helsinki Congress Paasitorni (www.paasitorni.fi/en), one of Helsinki’s most distinguished conference venues, located right in the heart of the city.
About Paasitorni
Paasitorni is a ruggedly beautiful granite building designed by the architect Karl Lindahl. The carefully restored building, complemented with newer wings, houses nearly 30 characterful and adaptable meeting and event spaces, five individual restaurants, and a 170-room hotel — all under the same roof. In 1999, Paasitorni became the first Finnish conference centre to receive an ISO 9001 quality certificate, and it has held an ISO 14001 environmental certificate since 2012, reflecting the venue’s long-standing commitment to sustainability.

Paasitorni is located in Siltasaari, right next to Hakaniemi and beside the Eläintarhanlahti bay — close to nature, yet central. Helsinki is practically a walking city: it is compact and easy to navigate on foot, and the major sights and most conference hotels are within walking distance of the venue.
Getting to the venue
From Helsinki Airport
The venue is about 18 km from Helsinki Airport. Take the I or P commuter train to the Central Railway Station (around 30 minutes), then continue by metro (two stops to Hakaniemi) or tram. Allow roughly 45–60 minutes door-to-door. A taxi from the airport takes about 25–35 minutes depending on traffic. See the Travel page for tickets and details.
From the city centre
Hakaniemi metro station is only a few minutes’ walk from Paasitorni, one to two stops from the city centre stations. Several tram and bus lines also stop at Hakaniemi, and walking from the Central Railway Station takes about 20 minutes along the waterfront.
Accessibility
Paasitorni’s premises are accessible for guests with reduced mobility, with the exception of a few small rooms in the historic building. If you have specific accessibility needs or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the organizers, and we will make the necessary arrangements together with the venue.
