Some cities can be all things to all people. Berlin is such a place. Hip, but refined, traditional yet totally modern, it makes a great city for business events and corporate get-aways…

Berlin is an ever changing city: Railway stations become museums, the Berlin Wall remains an open-air gallery and old factories have become multifunctional venues. International participants in meetings, conventions and incentives love Berlin because of its creativity and flair. The choice of special locations for conferences and events range from the 368 metre-high Fernsehturm television tower to the hangar of former Tempelhof Airport, which can accommodate 5,000 guests. Europe’s most modern hotel landscape offers unique diversity with good value for money plus the travel connections are excellent – both domestic and internationally.

Even more attractive
In a nutshell, the German capital works as the perfect meeting and convention destination and 3 June 2012 will see the opening of the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). This will result in an increase in long haul flights, and the city will become an even more attractive prospect for international event planners. During the past ten years the Berlin Convention Office (BCO) of visitBerlin has offered competent support at the organisation of conventions, meetings and incentives. Customers benefit from the experienced team, a broad network of contacts and the free-of-charge agency and reservation services for hotel allotments.

Being a member of international associations and organisations is a successful way of promoting Berlin and having access to up-to-date data on the worldwide congress market. Therefore the BCO is linked with the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), Meeting Professionals International (MPI), Site Global, European Cities Marketing, EVENTIA (the leading British trade organization) and the German Convention Bureau. On the BCO website (see below) Germany’s leading congress destination is presented in a comprehensive, structured and interactive manner. Page visitors also find an innovative compass for incentive travels there. The generator “BerlinCentives” informs about extraordinary Berlin experiences and helps select the perfect event.
