Hamburg is Germany’s second largest city, and yet it has more waterways and at the same time more green spaces than any other city in Germany. Hamburg is known throughout the world for Europe’s second largest port and for the Reeperbahn - the German version of Las Vegas. Hamburg is not only a great maritime city, but also one of the top conference and exhibition cities. Following the new construction of a 7000 square metre multi-function exhibition hall and the associated conference area, the CCH-Congress Center Hamburg has regained its top position in international competition.

This modern conference centre has expanded its exhibition space to a total of 10,000 square metres with the new hall, which fully meets the requirements of the international conference and meetings business. Together with the new conference area, the CCH has more than 23 fully air-conditioned conference rooms, some of them suitable for partitioning, and seats a total of 12,500 people, including 6000 in the new exhibition hall. Despite this, the compact design means that everything is still close together at the CCH, with conferences and exhibitions near to one another, and all on one level. That makes the CCH ideal for large international conferences accompanied by extensive trade shows.
 

The new CCH not only provides optimal infrastructure, but also award winning technical facilities - the new sound system in Conference Hall 1, which seats more than 3000 people, was honoured with the Sinus-Systems Integration Award.

Another major benefit of the CCH is its attractive location - CCH visitors can walk from the foyers straight into Europe’s largest shrub roofgarden. The landscaped park directly adjacent to the CCH is an attractive place for recreation, and the attractive city centre is just a few hundred metres away, with shopping facilities, hotels, theatres and restaurants. The transport facilities are also outstanding - Dammtor Station, voted Germany’s most attractive railway station, is just a few steps away, and Hamburg Airport is only twenty minutes away. The Hamburg Trade Fair site is only a few minutes away on foot, with an easy walk through the park. That means the CCH is not only a venue that keeps things close together; comparison with the eleven leading conference and exhibition venues in Germany shows that Hamburg is the venue with the shortest distances.
