Introducing the congress initiative
Our strengths for the congress city of Leipzig
A joint marketing pool of numerous Leipzig companies working together to promote Leipzig as a successful congress and conference destination – regionally, nationally and internationally.
The internet’s number one source of information for event planners seeking conference hotels, venues and service providers for their congresses, meetings and events in Leipzig.
An optimised research and work tool for the MICE industry in Leipzig to generate a customised selection of event options.
The partners all agree: alone, each of us is unique – together, we are strong.
“Feel the spirit ... do-it-at-leipzig.de” is a success story that began way back in the year 2000. Under the joint management of Leipziger Messe GmbH and Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH (LTM GmbH), what was once a temporary workaround became today’s service portal for conference and congress organisers. Since 2017, the platform has not only offered a new, user-friendly design but also the Virtual Site Inspection feature with spectacular 360° images. Over 50 partners now benefit from strategically planned congress marketing.
