Profile

In Germany's second largest city, Hamburg Messe und Congress organises, serves and enables a wide range of major national and international events year after year: Renowned industry fairs, world-leading congresses, political party conferences, annual general meetings, cultural and sports events all find the right conditions at this venue.

Situated between the University and the famous Reeperbahn district, in the midst of a vibrant inner-city with generously spaced parks, the eleven halls of the Hamburg trade fair site offer more than 87,000 square metres of exhibition space. Just a few metres away, the CCH – Congress Center Hamburg provides up to 50 halls and rooms.

The varied portfolio of exhibitions held on the Hamburg Messe und Congress campus primarily focuses on industries clustered in the metropolis on the Elbe river: Top trade events that bring together key industrial decision-makers from around the world include SMM, the leading international maritime trade fair; WindEnergy Hamburg; or INTERNORGA, Europe’s leading trade show for foodservice, hospitality, communal catering, bakeries and confectioners; and WindEnergy Hamburg, the world's leading expo for wind energy.

The Hamburg Messe und Congress exhibition complex not only offers ideal conditions for prominent guest events, including key exhibitions for industries such as aerospace, or major buyers' fairs for retailers, but also for attention-grabbing public trade fairs, international marketing events, TV galas, award ceremonies or political summits.

Just a few minutes’ walk from the Hamburg Messe fair site is the CCH – Congress Center Hamburg, one of Europe’s biggest congress centres. After undergoing comprehensive renovation and modernisation for the past four years, the complex now provides 12,000 square metres of exhibition space, 12,000 square metres of foyer space, 12,000 seats in total, and all the technology and flexibility today’s congresses and events require.
