About the City

Berlin, the united capital of Germany, is an urban oasis with its green and spacious environments. The city is renowned for its unique historical background, featuring two city centers, and an impressive array of bridges that surpasses even the count in Venice.

Among other achievements, the Berlin Convention Office of visitBerlin serves as the city’s official convention bureau since 2001. Its role is to promote the capital as a coveted destination for conventions, meetings, and incentive events while keeping up with the ever-changing global landscape.

Berlin continues to adapt its event landscape in response to global circumstances. Although the pre-pandemic 2019 figures boasted 67,000 events and over 9 million participants, the city is now on it’s way back including hybrid and digital meetings, adapting to the needs of clients. This commitment to innovation manifests itself in collaborations between event organizers, local businesses, and policymakers, and contributes to Berlin’s prestigious status in the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) world rankings. The city has proudly carried the UNESCO “”City of Design”” title since 2005.

A leading European science center, Berlin teems with a network of collaborative universities, research institutions, and technology parks that fuel progress in biotechnologies and medical sciences.

Berlin is home to several major event venues, such as CityCube Berlin, which caters to world-class events and large-scale gatherings. Alongside CityCube Berlin, the city offers several unique locations for hosting events, like the majestic 368-meter high Television Tower, meetings in repurposed swimming pools, and Germany’s grandest hotel, the Estrel, with over 25,000 square meters of multifunctional event space.
