Hamburg Convention Bureau Exciting and diverse locations, an impressive range of hotels, good accessibility and one of the largest and most modern congress centres in Europe – these are the first attributes that describe Hamburg as a congress metropolis. Today we would like to take you with us and introduce our city from a MICE point of view. The city is the star. And the city has it all! Around 1.8 million inhabitants within the city limits and 5.2 million people living in the metropolitan region. Hamburg is a port and Hanseatic city – with a great tradition, because Hamburg was the first container port in Germany. Nevertheless, it is an extremely green metropolis: with over 200 parks and 4,900 hectares of public green spaces, 72 % of the city area in Hamburg is green. This can be seen and felt in every corner of the city. More than 2,500 bridges cross the numerous canals and waterways that criss-cross the city. If we look at the MICE location, Hamburg has around 362 hotels with over 66,000 beds and almost 35,000 rooms – across all star categories. As you can see, Hamburg is a city worth visiting. Especially if you are planning your own MICE event. Some examples of conventions that have been visible worldwide were the Lions Clubs International Convention in the summer of 2013 with around 23,000 guests from all over the world and the Rotary International Convention 2019, which attracted more than 26,000 guests from 170 countries to Hamburg. Despite all the world congresses we have hosted, Hamburg is still a sleeping beauty. A “hidden gem” within the international meetings industry. But believe us: Hamburg will surprise you – we are sure. Because this is where profession meets professionalism. Passionate hosts, Hanseatic teamwork and an ideal MICE network make our city stand out. #thatswhyhamburg https://buff.ly/45PgEc9

It is a good time for hospitality businesses to ensure they have identified the events and occasions this year that may require a Temporary Event Notice (TEN). As of the 1 January 2024, a Premises’ TEN entitlement has reduced back to the pre-Covid levels of 15 TENs covering no more than 21 days. Here is a list we have compiled of some of the sporting events coming up in 2024: https://bit.ly/3TT40oA

Hey #meetingprofs and #eventprofs: You can't go to next week's big IMEX show in Vegas without a plan - you'll get exhausted pretty quickly. Here are IMEX Group CEO Carina Bauer's tips for hitting all your objectives at their show.

Shortened article... No wonder every city, state and country wants to build a convention centre; the opportunities appear limitless, as can be seen following birthday celebrations at two venues in recent weeks. In May Christchurch’s purpose-built convention centre, Te Pae, celebrated its second year of operation and is doing very nicely indeed, while in Sydney, the ICC’s management team has just inked another 10 year deal after a bumper seven years running the mega-venue. ASM Global’s ICC Sydney management team opened the ICC Sydney in December 2016. Seven years on it is well on target for delivering $5 billion in economic benefit for the venue’s first 25 years of operation. At the end of year seven the ICC Sydney has delivered 3,665 core events and welcomed 6.4 million attendees who have been estimated to have spent $3.9 billion in the local economy. That’s everything from accommodation to food to transport and no doubt some shopping thrown in for good measure. And to top off all that good news, ICC Sydney CEO and Group Director of Convention Centres at ASM Global (APAC), Geoff Donaghy, said benefits extend even further to the venue’s long supply chain including regional NSW food and wine producers, creative arts and community partners. “ICC Sydney’s mission continues to be to make a difference for greater Sydney and NSW residents, visitors and businesses, and our extensive calendar of events has already contributed to 7.22 million hotel room nights and the creation of 21,395 jobs in the local economy,” he said. “The venue has also spent $370 million with local suppliers, including $65 million spent directly with NSW food and beverage suppliers.” Across the ditch in Christchurch, more than 200,000 attendees have taken part in events at Te Pae since the convention centre hosted its first event in May 2022. The 458 events held at Te Pae Christchurch over the past two years have included 146 multi day conferences – 29 of which were international – 19 exhibitions, 131 banquets, 157 meetings and five live performances. In total, these events have attracted 204,420 attendees over the past 24 months. The impressive economic and broader benefits for the city and the region are the reason the New Zealand Government invested in Te Pae as part of the Central Christchurch Recovery Plan which was developed after the devastating earthquake in 2011. Explains John O’Hagan, chief executive of Rau Paenga Limited, the Crown infrastructure delivery agency that built and owns the facility, the goal was to catalyse spending and social activity in the central city for decades to come by building an international standard convention centre within walking distance of hotels, shops and restaurants. That vision appears to certainly be paying dividends now, with Te Pae general manager, Ross Steele, saying the venue has far outstripped all expectations in the first two years.
