The ICM - Internationales Congress Center München is
integrated into the Messe München International. With some
180,000m² exhibition space in the halls, it satisfies the best
prerequisites for major national and international conventions. The ICM
features all the state-of-the-art equipment that makes a modern
congress center both efficient and convenient: air-conditioning,
variable stage configurations, screens that can be positioned anywhere
for multiple-projector presentations, moving light bridges,
state-of-the-art data and video projection capabilities, digital
control consoles, separate control booths, simultaneous interpreter
booths and much more.
Munich – An optimum location
One of the ICM's
unique selling points is that it is located in Munich: The "Metropolis
with Heart" does a perfect job of combining the professionalism of a
commercial, media and research center with culture and hospitality. Its
hotels are world class, and its many sights and cultural institutions
are internationally renowned. Munich's public infrastructure is one of
the most efficient in the world. And the Munich airport is one of the
most important hubs for air traffic in Europe.
Tradition and vision
Munich definitely has a tradition as
a congress and conference venue, especially in the medical and
pharmaceutical sectors, but it has only managed to successfully
position itself at the international level due to the ICM and since the
trade-fair center moved to its current location in 1998. Since then,
the ICM has gone through a period of outstanding economic growth and is
now considered one of the leading venues in the world. To continue
strengthening its position, the trade-fair center and the city of
Munich are promoting an integrated municipal-marketing program under
the supervision of the Department of Labor and Economic Development, a
permanent element in its efforts to promote the city's ongoing
development.
