Sydhavnen AAR
A "Plaza” is a meeting place where culture meets, and where you can experience something new and thought-provoking.
A space where local creators and global leaders unite through creativity and innovation, rallying for change and new ideas.

A home for creators. Plaza.Club is a special invite only community club for creators - Your mental gym membership.
It’s the space between a festival’s big experiences and a conference’s deep insights: a living arena for growth, courage, and co-creation.
On Friday, 21 November 2025, we return with the second edition — this time as part of Plaza.Expo and hosted at Phono, the brand-new spot in Aarhus’ Latin Quarter at Mejlade 53.
We’re taking over the space for a night where great tunes meet great company, brought to life with immersive visuals by synkron.
