THE HANNOVER EXPERIENCE
Benjamin Wirtz works at the Hannover congress and events office, which acts as a central hub for conference and event planning in the region, both for companies and associations, as well as individual clients. He explains why a local point of contact makes all the difference: “All year round, we keep in close contact with our service providers, which makes us a central and independent connection to the outside.

the region. “Our congress and event office replaces local networking, which in many cases is inaccessible to the outsider. Thus, the client profits from valuable insider tips and ideas while saving both time and money.” The Hannover Congress Centrum stands for one of the biggest independent event and congress locations in Germany. With 110 years of history on its back, the Europe-wide renowned congress and event centre features four multi-functional events arenas, seven festival halls, as well as 28 conference and seminar locations. As a city of short distances, well-connected through the A2/A7 as well as train and air travel, Hannover is the ideal destination for meetings and events in connection with overnight stays in the heart of Germany and
Europe. Both the congress centre and the expansive Hannover exhibition grounds may already be known worldwide for their sheer proportions. However, says Benjamin Wirtz, “where in the world can you conduct meetings in historic Baroque gardens and subsequently enjoy celebrating success among penguins and ice bears?” Thus, the city of means and history provides an unmatched backdrop for truly memorable and fruitful business events. www.hannover-congress.com www.visit-hannover.com/en
