The sigh of relief throughout the event industry was audible – in March, the doors finally opened again for congresses and conferences, for business events, for culture and entertainment. As a result, event calendars are filling up fast, booking numbers are rising, and Leipzig is finally welcoming guests from Germany and abroad again. The conference destination has lost none of its appeal. On the contrary, many venues and players have used the interruption brought about by the pandemic to develop attractive new treats for event planners. And even if online and hybrid formats play an essential role, Leipzig continues to stand for in-person events that radiate charm and charisma. What can organisers look forward to now?
