Meeting Professionals International (MPI) has announced it is extending its partnership with German venue-provider DüsseldorfCongress in 2013 after initially entering a marketing agreement with DüsseldorfCongress in 2012.
The new marketing agreement gives DüsseldorfCongress a key role in the hosted buyer program during the MPI world convention, and meetings are being set up with representatives from the U.S. and other markets. MPI also has invited DüsseldorfCongress to present itself in the MPI trade media.
DüsseldorfCongress was the first venue-provider to conclude a comprehensive contract with MPI; it is currently the only one in Europe.
“The partnership with MPI is very important for DüsseldorfCongress,” said Hilmar Guckert, CEO, DüsseldorfCongress. “As a European event-organizer, we are very proud of this comprehensive collaboration with MPI, which has only grown over the past several years due to our personal relationship. This is a seal of quality for the event location Düsseldorf.”
DüsseldorfCongress is one of the largest venue-providers in the European meetings industry. With 10 venues and a capacity for more than 130,000 participants, the company offers tailor-made room concepts and services for every kind of event – from conventions and corporate events to concerts and sporting events. In 2012, DüsseldorfCongress hosted more than 3,400 events with more than 2 million visitors.
