Every two years the Berlin Convention Office (BCO) of BTM, together with BTM-Partnerhotels e. V. and Berlin Preferred Agencies, extends an invitation to Meeting Place Berlin, which will be held from 2 to 6 July 2009.

The target group consists of hosted buyers, meeting and event organisers and organisers from associations, companies and agencies. In the course of a multi-day workshop the attractiveness of Berlin as a meeting and convention destination is presented to them.

The participants are split into two groups. Based on a rotating system each group attends three events: “Meet Professionals Day”, “Meet Facilities Day” and “Meet Berlin Day”. During the first event convention customers have appointments with local providers agreed in advance. They range from five-star hotels over special locations down to gourmet facilities. Another advantage: the providers seek out the participants and present their locations to them.

On the “Meet Facilities Day” the hosted buyers are given a professional overview of the Berlin venues. They visit the diverse meeting and conference venues in Berlin. The “Meet Berlin Day” showcases the special attractions of the metropolis on the river Spree. An impressive tour enables all the participants to see for themselves the rich diversity of the German capital. The emphasis is on art, culture and the Berlin scene.

One highlight is a visit to a concert during the Classic Open Air Festival on Gendarmenmarkt, one of the most beautiful squares in Berlin. This unique experience in a historical setting will also be the unforgettable climax to Meeting Place Berlin 2009. Further information on Meeting Place Berlin 2009 is available on the website www.meeting-place-berlin.com.
