Convergence center

Convergence center

A convergence center is a central place for information and meeting to serve participants during large and manifold protest or other alternative activities at summits.

They started to be used in the 1990s as a logistic tool to solve communication problems among the large number of people present at varying activities at European Union summits, sometimes also including living quarters.
