This year’s edition of IMEX Frankfurt will be held from May 31 to June 2 in Germany. The event marks the restart of the meeting sector. In accordance with the IMEX motto: “We don’t just want to think about the future, but to shape the future,” it also focuses on the theme of nature. The Stuttgart Convention Bureau is offering several certified locations to promote sustainable meetings and events.
With the guiding principle “we care,” the Stuttgart Convention Bureau will partner with organizers interested in incorporating the “green” highlights of Stuttgart and the surrounding region in their event planning. Organizers can choose from several options in Stuttgart, which had received the German Sustainability Award last year.
The climate-neutral Messe Stuttgart trade fair center with the ICS International Congress Center Stuttgart offers flexible exhibition solutions with additional outdoor event space of over 1,291,669 square feet. Players also show their commitment by signing the WIN-Charta Baden-Württemberg. They include the Liederhalle Culture and Congress Center, the Congress Center Böblingen Sindelfingen, Stuttgart Airport, the Messe Stuttgart trade fair center and the Stuttgart-Marketing GmbH with its convention bureau. All these venues actively support the social, ecological and economic goals of the initiative.
The Stadthalle Reutlingen recently reaffirmed its commitment by once again fulfilling the Green Globe sustainability criteria by 100 percent. The congress venue is located close to R. Echaz in Bürgerpark. The city of Reutlingen, which lies in the middle of the “Swabian Alb” biosphere, is an ideal starting point for a host of sustainable options for framework programs.
Active framework programs with a focus on Corporate Social Responsibility can bring people together and provide insights into the destination. The choice is huge: from a wine tour to the exploration of Stuttgart’s “Stäffele”—the countless flights of steps. Those preferring immersive activities can opt for classes on how to make pretzels or organic cosmetics.
The Waldhotel Stuttgart holds Green Sign Level 5 certification and is just 15 minutes away from the heart of Stuttgart. Guests can enjoy meetings and team building events along with panoramic views, with a glimpse of the Television Tower. Another venue is the Bürgerzentrum Waiblingen, a civic center offering innovative meeting formats.
