The International Conference Centre Geneva is owned by the Foundation for the Building Foundation for International Organizations (FIPOI), statutory independant foundation created in 1964 by the Swiss Confederation and the Cantonal State of Geneva.

The CICG was inaugurated in 1973 and was built by the FIPOI to accommodate international conferences at governmental level of a political, economic, technical or scientific nature as well as private congresses of any kinds. Between October 2004 and October 2005, the original construction was entirely renovated and its capacity enlarged. A new extended entrance and an innovative, flexible multi-purpose area, among other state-of-the-art improvements, make it the ideal venue for a wide range of events.
