Meetings Newsletter Germany

Autumn in Germany quite often turns into a veritable Indian Summer - a most pleasant time of year for holding exclusive presentations, congresses, conferences, galas, incentives and trade fair events. Suitable destinations, products and offers have indeed increased considerably in number, variety and scale over recent years.

Our series on FIFA World Cup™ host cities continues in this issue with Hanover and Hamburg – two major players in the worlds of conventions and international trade fairs. Our rubric ‘Profiles’ features a profile of m:con Congress Center Rosengarten Mannheim and its ambitious expansion plans for 2007.

This edition of our newsletter also includes a report on recent congress developments in Munich, Heidelberg, Dresden and Frankfurt along with further news from the German meetings, incentives, congress and events industry.

We would also like to pass on our congratulations to Steigenberger Hotels on the occasion of their 75th anniversary celebrations.

Wishing you an enjoyable and informative read,

Your GCB Team
