The team at the Munich Convention Bureau has recently shared exciting news about the city's new hotel and venue openings as well as great events awaiting Munich's visitors in 2021 and beyond.

IAA Mobility

Since its launch in 1897, the IAA has played a decisive role in the development of the automobile. Taking account of the latest trends about how people move from A to B, the new IAA Mobility is transforming from a car show to a 360° mobility platform. After taking place in Frankfurt for 70 years, the IAA Mobility will be launched in Munich for the very first time. From September 7 to 12, 2021, IAA Mobility 2021 will feature four formats, i.e. Summit (in the exhibition halls), Conference (showcasing the key content), Open Space (in the most famous places in Munich) and Blue Lane (testing and connecting routes between the trade fair center and the city center), aiming to bring together visitors from the entire mobility industry chain and showcase the mobility of the future. The trade fair takes places biennially. For more information, please visit www.iaa.de/en/mobility
