Venue – Pörssitalo
The Pörssi House is a striking stone landmark in the heart of Helsinki. With more than a century of history behind it, the building, designed by architect Lars Sonck, was inaugurated in 1912. Stockbrokers left the premises in the early 1990s when the stock exchange transitioned to electronic trading. Over its long history, the Pörssi House has witnessed major moments in Finland’s business life as well as in the evolution of the city’s restaurant culture, and it continues to serve these roles to this day.
