GCB German Convention Bureau

The German Convention Bureau

Germany is the number one conference and congress destination in Europe and comes second worldwide behind the USA. To secure this position and improve on it, is among the GCB’s core tasks. Conferences, congresses and events are platforms for exchanging experiences and ideas. They promote innovation and know-how transfer and contribute to international understanding which is a key concern for the GCB. It is our aim to further the exchange of experiences and ideas as well as promote conferences and congresses with the forum that we provide for the industry.

The GCB German Convention Bureau represents Germany as a leading sustainable destination in the world for meetings and conventions. It supports its members and partners in national and international marketing of their products and services as well as providing wider support for the sector. The GCB enables congress and conference organisers worldwide to access a Germany-wide network of first-class venues, congress centres, event agencies and marketing organisations that deliver customised solutions for your events. At the same time, we are not only a partner for event planners, but in a wider sense support everyone involved in the MICE industry with our network. We serve as a platform bringing people together and we provide special industry know-how.

With its specialist know-how about Germany as a conference and congress destination, the GCB supports event organisers with relevant insights and expertise: We organise seminars and provide information on regional industry hubs. We advise on sustainable event planning and green meetings, produce newsletters and help organise Educational Trips and site visits. Moreover, the GCB collects market data and provides information about trends and innovations that are relevant for the event industry.

The GCB actively supports its 200 members and partners in marketing their portfolio on a national and international level. Altogether, the GBC represents 450 leading congress centres, conference centres, event agencies and local marketing organisations. Lufthansa, German Rail (Deutsche Bahn) and the German Tourist Board (DZT) are strong strategic partners that support the GCB’s work.
