What event organisers say about Dresden
Many national and international event organisers have already chosen Dresden as their destination. Their experiences demonstrate why the city is an attractive venue for events.
“For over fifteen years, Dresden has been a popular venue for our conferences. The ‘Dermatology KOMPAKT & PRAXISNAH’ event, which was held once again in Dresden in 2020 following numerous requests from our participants, took place at the International Congress Centre. For us, it is one of the most beautiful conference venues in Germany. Its location in the centre of Dresden, the connection to the Maritim Hotel and, above all, the wonderful view from the conference halls are unique. Dresden impresses in many ways, and so we are once again delighted to see growing attendance figures.”
Elke Schmeckenbecher, German Dermatological Society (DDG)
“Whether it’s the annual European Mask and Lithography Conference, SmartGridComm 2017 or the IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility 2015 – Dresden is an integral part of our events and captivates us with its culture, the wide range of hotels in various categories, the professionalism of the local service providers and the diverse venues. We create unforgettable moments here for our participants. Although I have already organised numerous events in Dresden, I rediscover the city anew every time.”
Hatice Altintas, Head of VDE Conference Services – VDE Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies e. V.
