As Michael Biwer, Vice President of Guest Events at Messe Frankfurt, explains: “We are delighted that the event sector is now free of all restrictions on personal interaction. As a venue operator that plays host to all event formats – from traditional trade fairs (in the B2B and B2C area) to congresses, conferences, concerts and sporting and corporate events – we need a dynamic MICE sector. We will have an ideal platform for the restart when the global meeting and event sector comes together at IMEX on our exhibition grounds between 31 May and 2 June 2022.”
Leading experts will once again be coming to the Congress Center for various specialist events – for example at the Battery Experts Forum and the international CSI Frankfurt congress on catheter-based techniques for treating heart disease.
As a place of interaction and business, Messe Frankfurt is the venue of choice for leading international fairs like Achema (process industries), CPhI Worldwide (pharmaceutics industry), Optatec (optical technologies) and Formnext (additive manufacturing and industrial 3D printing).
As well as this, international classics like the Frankfurt Book Fair and newer events like Eurobike – the central platform for the bicycle and future mobility sector, which is being held in Frankfurt for the first time – are set to make waves beyond the exhibition grounds themselves. Both of these events will also be accompanied by a colourful programme of activities throughout the city.
Music, culture and sports enthusiasts can look forward to 50 different concerts, shows and sporting events in the Festhalle.
In its function as host, Messe Frankfurt not only provides event organisers with a wide range of locations but also with customised service solutions. This includes professional project management assistance, creative trade fair construction, safety and logistics concepts, media and streaming technology, event engineering and suitable catering options. Messe Frankfurt’s central guidelines take into account the environmental impact and focus on resource efficiency and promoting ecological solutions. Visitors to IMEX can find out more about this at the Messe Frankfurt stand (F030).
