The development of services, gastronomy and event spaces has transformed Olivia Centre, the largest Polish business centre, into a space open to the residents of the Tri-City and tourists, where the lights do not go out after 5.00 p.m. More than 140 events take place here every month. Among them, trainings, sporting events, as well as… theatrical performances with Krystyna Janda, Katarzyna Figura and Andrzej Grabowski and concerts of stars, m.in. Leszek Możdżer, Krzysztof Zalewski, Patrycja Markowska, Mroz.
We closed 2022 with an impressive number of events. In total, there were as many as 1680 of them last year. This number may seem unrealistic only at first glance, but taking into account Olivia’s wide offer, which includes the bustling O4 Coworking, Olivia Garden, observation floor, event center on the 34th floor of Olivia Star, Olivia Sky Club and events organized on the patio of the facility, this scale does not have to be surprising.
Club Meeting Places
Spaces for conferences and events have been available to Olivia residents since 2012. The first of them was Sky Club, located on the 13th floor of the Olivia Tower building. It is an intimate business space where meetings of entrepreneurs are held, discussion clubs and employers’ organizations gather. It is also a place that is often rented out for private events, most often held in the evenings and on weekends. In 2022, a total of 475 events took place at the Sky Club. Among them were meetings of the Business Center Club, Pomeranian Employers, book premieres, business cocktails and discussion panels. Among the most interesting were meetings with experts, such as Krzysztof Wojczal or Jacek Bartosiak, during which the participants could discuss the political situation and events in the country and in the world. It was also here that the final of the Olivia Prize 2021 took place – a competition for enterprises, social activists and the most important initiatives implemented in Olivia Centre in a given year.
Attractions accessible to all
The most popular among Tri-City residents and tourists are the Olivia Star spaces, which were opened in 2019. In July this year, an outdoor terrace with an observation floor on the 32nd floor of the tallest building in northern Poland was made available. It is a perfectly developed space where there is a restaurant, a café, a meeting room for 60 people, relaxation areas and observation points of the vast panorama of the Tri-City, which can be admired from a height of 130 meters above the ground. This space has become a favorite meeting place for families with children, birthday parties, social and business meetings. In the fall of 2022, Olivia prepared unique spaces for the 33. Olivia Star, inviting the international celebrity of gastronomy, Paco Perez, a Spanish chef who has so far been awarded 5 stars by the prestigious Michelin culinary guide, to collaborate.
On the floor above, there is the highest conference and event centre in Poland, where concerts of Polish jazz and popular music celebrities, theatre performances, business conferences and a number of other events are organized. The multifunctional space has been prepared in such a way that it can be divided into parts, so that up to 3 events can take place in it at the same time, and often these are different events during the day than in the evening. Olivia Star’s offer is complemented by the exotic Olivia Garden Botanical Garden, which welcomes guests entering the building. In the garden with an area of 800m2 there are nearly 4 thousand. plants, the highest of which reach up to 11 meters in height. Among them, there are many unique specimens, with a unique history, which is informed by the plaques placed near them. The Garden has become an educational, integrative, but also event space, as there is a mini amphitheatre in its centre, where yoga classes, concerts, meetings with authors and many other events are held.
After working hours, these spaces change their functions and attract a different group of guests. Every Friday at 32 p. Olivia Star hosts Disco 80′ Nights – discos with a view of the illuminated city located at the foot of the building. In summer, parties often move to the outdoor terrace, creating a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. There are also regular cabaret evenings, concerts and meetings with inspiring people. At the beginning of 2023, Radio 357 held its all-time top there, which ended with a concert by Ray Willson – the former lead singer of the legendary group Genesis. So it should come as no surprise that all of these events attract close to 30,000 people. visitors per month.
The magic of excellent cuisine among the stars
Paco Perez’s fame brings even more opportunities for Olivia’s guests. Restaurants from the 33rd floor have become the most important point on the gastronomic map of Polish, thanks to special evenings, during which friends of the Spanish master – the greatest celebrities of fine dining cuisine from around the world – present their artistry in the Arco by Paco Perez restaurant. Last year, in the interiors of this prestigious restaurant, guests could taste dishes prepared especially for these evenings by such celebrities of gastronomy as Nacho Manzano (winner of the 3*** Michelin guide), Diego Guerrero and Andoni Luis Aduris (2** each) and Wojciech Modest Amaro (1*) and take part in presentations of such iconic brands as Ferrari, Bentley, Macallan whisky, Dom Perignon.
The inexhaustible energy of Coworking
O4 Coworking is a place that is constantly teeming with life. The year 2022 closed with 150 events, of which only 50 were aimed only at the coworking community. In total, more than 5300 people attended the 2022 events. Photo shoots, conferences, workshops, trainings for various industries and regular meetings of the IT industry are some of the most frequently held events chosen by companies. What is also important is the unique, casual atmosphere that prevails in all Coworking spaces in 4 Olivia buildings. The list of events also includes team-building events organized by O4 as part of the Eventownia project. These events are primarily about active integration, which is in line with the idea that coworking is a community and a lifestyle. These meetings are always the most attended. At O4 there is also the Flow Club, whose offer is addressed to women. As part of it, once a month there are workshops in the field of project management, PR and marketing, HR, brand building and networking meetings. Most of the events are not exclusive to O4 members, but are open to anyone who would like to join.
“Olivia wants to be a part of the city and has been for many years ,” says Bogusław Wieczorek, Plenipotentiary of the Management Board of Olivia Centre. Our events are aimed at everyone, and Olivia’s spaces are open every day until late in the evening. It is a great satisfaction for us to be able to attract such diverse groups as lovers of literature, fine dining, family lego building workshops or jazz concerts. We want to inspire, integrate and remain open to all residents of the Tri-City, the region and tourists. A high-energy, multifunctional center where you can meet interesting people is the best definition of what we offer to our guests.
