NürnbergConvention Center makes room for knowledge…

The NürnbergConvention Center outperformed expectations again in 2012. Its many new congresses and conventions, like the German-Russian Commodities Conference or the CIHA – the International Committee of the History of Arts – kept the Center busy all year long. Promising reservation figures for upcoming exhibitions and events in Nürnberg and the highly successful business record of 2012 support a rosy outlook for the future. Business experts, physicians, athletes and IT specialists – all come together at the NürnbergConvention Center to debate, confer, exchange ideas and learn. Professions that meet here range from the International Congress of Hearing Aid Acousticians to the German Conference of Oracle Users to major medical conventions. Conferences that the Franconian convention hub hosted in 2013 included the annual convention of the German Federation for Outpatient Surgery and the German Anesthetics Congress.

…and for experts

The Nürnberg exhibition center offers a total of 160,000 m2 of exhibition space, distributed through 14 exhibition halls, making NürnbergMesse one of Europe’s largest and most up-to-date exhibition and convention facilities. In 2014 the new Hall 3A will open just in time for the city’s famed Spielwarenmesse®, increasing NürnbergMesse’s floor space to 170,000 m2. This is the first exhibition hall to be designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.

The NürnbergConvention Center has space for conventions and conferences hosting up to 11,000 attendees, with numerous options for custom arrangements. More than 40 fully equipped convention halls and conference rooms are available for congresses, conventions and events of all kinds.

The NürnbergConvention Center also works with the Nürnberg Convention and Tourist Office to manage the NürnbergConvention umbrella brand. This cooperative arrangement between the city and the exhibition company pools activities from the region. With locations of every size, numerous hotels, convenient transportation connections in the heart of Europe, and a flourishing economic environment, not to mention historical flair, Nürnberg and its environs offer an excellent setting for organizers of international trade shows and conventions. The Convention Bureau coordinates inquiries and helps assign just the right location. “Nürnberg’s diversity and accessibility are a major advantage for event organizers. Through NürnbergConvention we can make sure that our guests meet with the best conditions for every event, even above and beyond the event itself. A quick trip here, comfortable accommodations, and a harmonized program of associated activities – these make Nürnberg itself a memorable experience,” explains Sabina Linke, head of International Acquisition and Marketing for NürnbergMesse and NürnbergConvention Center.
