• ICM – International Congress Centre Munich implements new standards in

technical services and event processes

• 'Intelligent conference system' developed for AGMs

 
"Organisers of trade fairs, congresses and other events have ever higher requirements as regards technology and equipment," said Gerhard Gerritzen, Deputy Managing Director of Messe München GmbH with responsibility for the ICM – International Congress Centre Munich, speaking about the developments in congress and event technology. He went on: "For this reason, we are continuing to investing on an ongoing basis in the infrastructure and technology of our venue."
 
Gerritzen is confident that introducing innovative technology enhances not only the competitiveness of the ICM, but also improves cost-reliability and efficiency: "In the battle for pole position on the national and international congress and events market, permanent innovations leadership is an absolute must these days."
 
Optimising equipment planning
One of the technological innovations implemented at the ICM is a very versatile inventory management system which greatly facilitates optimum planning and provision of equipment for events and increases efficiency. As well as quality and flexibility, this system, says Gerritzen, "also substantially improves cost-reliability for our customers and partners."
 
Added certainty at AGMs
As well increased efficiency, innovation also brings the ICM a number of event-specific benefits: For example, an 'intelligent conference system', specially developed by ICM´s competence partners Neumann&Müller for use at AGMs, enables delegates´ intercoms to be programmed, a feature which helps ensure the legal requirements regarding the order of events at such shareholder meetings are met. Clients like Linde, MAN, Munich Re and others benefit from the added certainty this provides.
 
Thanks to the installation of a new and innovative public-address system, the sound transmission quality at AGMs will in future be significantly improved: Individual areas of the building can in future be controlled more selectively thereby giving a more flexible sound coverage in the presence region as well as backstage.
