Conventions and Conferences
Creative ideas in historical settings and UNESCO protected nature: Saxony-Anhalt has long been a secret tip for conventions, conferences, seminars and incentives. Surprised?

This federal state provides ideal conditions for creative ideas in suitable atmospheres –with a wide variety of offers in the area of art and culture, lively cities and plenty of room to gaze over wide open landscapes and historical gardens and let thoughts wander. And the price is right too.
The element of surprise is an important building block for successful events. Saxony-Anhalt surprises with its variety of possibilities and offers in this area. The region between the Harz mountains and the Havel river, the Altmark in the north and the Burgenland in the sourth, as well as the region Anhalt-Wittenberg in the east of the state can be reached conveniently by car, bus or train. The Halle-Leipzig Airport connects Saxony-Anhalt internationally.
Time for discoveriesTake your conference guests on tours of discovery. A thousand-year history is awaiting them – medieval churches, cloisters and castles up to the cathedrals of modern times – preserved amidst the state’s numerous monuments to industry. Surprise your guests and clients with novel locations, exciting incentives and impressive events. Attend the Telemann Festival in Magdeburg, the Handel Festival in Halle or the Kurt Weill Fest in Dessau, to list just a few of the possibilities.
Harz TagungsPool (Harz Convention Pool)The Harz, Germany’s northernmost mountain range, known for its natural and cultural diversity, is also a highly recommended convention region. In the convention network “Harz TagungsPool”, 33 providers have banded together, including convention hotels, tourism organisations and special locations like Wernigerode Castle and Drübeck Monastery.
The Harz convention pool provides free, one-stop service packages: consultation, research and concrete offers.

The convention triangle: Magdeburg, Halle and DessauThe “convention triangle” Halle, Magdeburg and Dessau is especially popular, due to excellent transportation connections and a wide variety of excursion opportunities.

In the city centres of Magdeburg and Halle, modern convention and congress centres can accommodate up to 2000 guests.
