World Trade Center

What World Trade Center does

WTC Events Center is a privately held convention and corporate-events complex headquartered in the Brooklin Novo (Berrini) business district of São Paulo, Brazil, at Av. Nações Unidas, 12.551. The company operates four floors of reconfigurable venue space — Golden Hall, Theatre, a four-module Ballroom, and WCity Hall — capable of hosting simultaneous multi-track events with documented attendance exceeding 1,700 participants (Facial Experience 2025) and 1,300+ for large-scale corporate dinners (BTG Pactual). The venue is physically and commercially integrated with the Sheraton São Paulo WTC Hotel, enabling bundled venue-plus-accommodation packages for multi-day events.

The business generates revenue through quote-based event venue rentals, integrated hospitality services delivered jointly with Sheraton, and on-site gastronomy provided through strategic partners Atta Gastronomia and SIG Gastronomia. Supporting infrastructure is supplied by technology partners Sala R1 (audiovisual) and Expo Telecom (connectivity). Customer segments span large corporations, professional associations, mid-market companies, and Professional Congress Organizers (PCOs), with documented enterprise clients across financial services (BTG Pactual), technology (Sensedia), healthcare (IMCAS América, Facial Academy, ONA), legal (Intelijur) and franchising (Associação Brasileira de Franchising). The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, an event-driven content engine via the Insights Hub blog, multi-language digital presence, and a quote-request funnel.

Operational maturity is reflected in an ESG program (LED infrastructure, selective waste collection, reusable scenography), LGPD-compliant data governance, a Transparency Portal, and a whistleblower channel. The company was a 2025 Prêmio Caio finalist for large-scale event-venue hospitality, with CEO João Nagy leading both WTC Events Center and Sheraton São Paulo WTC. No revenue, headcount, funding, or M&A data is publicly disclosed.
