That would be the news everyone has been waiting for. No, I’m afraid I can't announce that today. But if we Berliners don't have any practice in crisis management, who does? "More Berlin" is the name of our new newsletter and also the motto of our campaign here at Messe Berlin Guest Events. It is this MORE Berlin that inspires us time and again to look for new paths and to follow them with enthusiasm. In the last few weeks of spring, the first tender shoots of hope have already blossomed, and I'm not just talking about Hertha remaining in the 1st Bundesliga. There will be more about that in a moment in this newsletter. But first, I hope you enjoy reading it! I'm also always happy to receive your feedback, because only together will we as event professionals be able to succeed.
So, „Ran an die Bouletten!“(go for it!) as we Berliners say.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Ralf Kleinhenz, Vice President, Messe Berlin GmbH
Hybrid or just digital? The Messe Berlin Studio offers the perfect technical and spatial platform as well as the trained staff for a smooth process for your events. And right now we have a true innovation in our portfolio: The Messe Berlin Pop-Up Studio. Don't ask yourself where the studio is, because the studio comes directly to you. No matter where you hold an event on the exhibition grounds, the Pop-Up Studio is (almost) already there. Soon bookable with us in sizes S, M and L.
How do you do a site inspection when you're barely allowed outside your own front door? This question has been on our minds frequently over the past few months. Our solution: boot up your laptop and get started! Explore 190,000 square meters of digital exhibition grounds from the comfort of your own home and, above all, exactly when you want to: Open 24/7! Sit back and tell your tour guide Dr. Ralf Kleinhenz where to go.
Thanks to falling numbers of new Corona infections, the MICE industry is about to RESTART and the Capital Congress is playing a crucial role. As part of a pilot project, the congress will test the practical use of a digital certificate for antigen rapid tests and COVID-19 vaccinations. This will give 500 participants the opportunity to attend a face-to-face event at our CityCube Berlin after a long dry spell. So there is movement in the congress location Berlin! Our team is ready and looking forward to the RESTART. For all the latest developments at the Capital Congress, please take a look at the announcements on the organizer's homepage.
Two weeks ago, Hertha BSC fought to stay in the 1st Bundesliga, and two days ago they entered new digital territory at their general meeting in the Messe Berlin Studio. For the first time, around 40,000 Hertha club members had the opportunity to follow their president Gegenbauer in a live stream and find out about the club's current situation. Two thumbs up were given not only for the first-class organization by our project manager Binnaz Akar (pictured here with president Gegenbauer) but also for the setting and technical implementation. It smells like a rematch!
An event industry in lockdown is no event industry! And even though we are seeing the first openings and a cautious return to normality these days, many event planners are still under massive pressure. The state of Berlin wants to counteract this pressure by setting up the Congress Fund Berlin. 'Everything for the restart' of the MICE industry is the motto from now on. The focus is expressly on attendance events! What did our boss say in the foreword? Go for it!
When two of the most successful German rappers stand up for female power and more diversity, the stage for this message can't be spectacular enough! In this respect, the decision for the +palais.Berlin as the only filming location for the current music video "MADONNA - The Movement" was perfectly placed! Brought to life by fashion portal About You and inspired by the number one song of the same name by rapper Bausa and Apache 207, the film presents 35 dancers whose choreography sends a strong message that every woman is unique. At least as unique as our location.
