GCB Theme Year 2009

The “Art” of Meetings made in Germany

This year 2009 is dedicated to the theme of culture in and from Germany. The GCB will be looking at both the history and contemporary situation in the land of poets and philosophers, painters and composers and illustrate how special offers for the meetings and congress markets may be attractively designed and artfully implemented.  German cities and regions are rich with the evidence of famous personalities, historic episodes and centuries of collecting culture. This is all an important factor in the ongoing attractiveness and quality of MICE destination Germany. Germany offers a cultural environment of exceptional quality for congresses, meetings and seminars: a context which enables meetings and conferences to be held in superb cultural settings from imposing museums to unique events in places where famous personalities were once active. This year we will present you with a monthly highlight based around the art and culture theme. So let yourself be surprised!

Goethe, Bach and Beethoven invite to conferences and receptions

Cultural facilities in Germany are quite often geared to and available for a wide variety of visitors and activities. An evening reception in Goethe’s residences in Weimar or in Frankfurt am Main may only be experienced in Germany. A private performance after a meeting on an historic concert piano in the Chamber Music Hall in the Bonn house where Beethoven was born situated over the treasury where Beethoven’s original scores and letters are kept is one experience you may be sure that your participants will never forget.

Culture temples and special venues
Germany’s museums great and small are by no means elitist culture temples anymore. Apart from art, the often architecturally outstanding buildings offer a wide range of meeting and event facilities of the highest technical standard. German museums are by far the most frequently booked special venues for congresses, meetings, seminars, product launches, fashion shows, special events and gala dinners in our country. Most of them have their own meeting and event department that will help you realise your wishes. And Marc, Macke, Beckmann, Dürer, Baselitz and Richter look forward to a visit of your delegates on a guided tour of the exhibitions – even after the official opening hours.
