Dresden MeetGreen

Nachhaltig begeistern

Network for Sustainable and Climate-Friendly Events

Dresden is renowned not only for its stunning architecture, vibrant cultural scene, and scientific excellence — the city is also taking a strong stand for sustainability. Under the guiding principle „Nachhaltig begeistern“, Dresden Convention Service offers a dedicated platform that connects service providers and partners committed to creating events in Dresden that are resource-efficient, climate-friendly, and socially responsible. We firmly believe that sustainability is not a passing trend, it is a necessity. That is why we actively promote event concepts that are not only economically successful but also environmentally conscious and socially equitable.
