• Election of ICM Director Andrea Bisping as Chairwoman underlines the spirit of trust and partnership within the congress business in Munich

  
On 1 April 2009, Andrea Bisping, Director of the International Congress Centre Munich (ICM), was elected as the new Chairwoman of the Munich ICCA Committee (MIC), a successful alliance of partners in the Munich congress business. Following on from Peter Trautmann, COO of Flughafen München GmbH (Munich Airport), who chaired the committee up to the end of 2008, Andrea Bisping aims to step up the concerted activities in destination marketing and push ahead successfully with broadening the international scope of the congress activities.
 
Election welcomed by all the partners
The election of Andrea Bisping as Chairwoman of the Munich ICCA Committee is further confirmation of the spirit of trust and cooperation among the players in the congress and conventions business in Munich. All members of the MIC welcomed the appointment. Peter Trautmann, her predecessor in office, congratulated ICM Director Andrea Bisping warmly: "I am delighted that Andrea Bisping, as Director of the International Congress Centre Munich, will be taking forward the interests of the Munich congress sector with a combination of feminine charm and strong competence in the field. In the short time she has been at the ICM, she has successfully built up wide-ranging contacts within the industry, which played a part not least in the successful hosting of the renowned cardiologists congress in 2008. As Chairwoman of the Munich ICCA Committee, Andrea Bisping will further strengthen the position of Munich as a top international destination, in particular in the current difficult market environment, and sharpen the profile of Munich across all segments of the congress business."
 
The Munich ICCA Committee (MIC) is a grouping of the Munich-based members of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA). Its aim is to offer professional congress and event management at a local level. (Further information: www.icca-muc.de and www.icm-muenchen.de ).
