“

The various conference rooms were easy to adapt to our needs, providing exactly the right setting for our professional convention. In addition, the impressive foyer was admirably suited for our trade exhibition held in conjunction with the convention. Our close relationship with the Messe Friedrichshafen organisation team was very helpful and ensured that our convention went off successfully and without a hitch. This is exactly what we expect when working with convention professionals.

“

It is always a challenge to find a first-class event venue for our European Dealer Convention. At Messe Friedrichshafen this was easy right from the start. Its proximity to the airport, the numerous inexpensive hotels in the city, the scope for side events and of course the convention rooms themselves far exceeded our expectations.
