ES­SEN CON­VEN­TION BUR­EAU

Green Meet­ings in the green fair-trade city known for its stun­ning in­dus­tri­al her­it­age.

Essen is one of the hearts that beat in the Ruhr area. That doesn’t mean that you should be expecting a dreary industrial backdrop, however: Holding the title of “European Green Capital 2017”, Essen is a fair-trade city that offers environmentally friendly and sustainable “Green Meetings”. The items of mobility, energy, and climate play are just as relevant in this as the aspects of resources, catering, and communication. 

A good social programme can be ensured in Essen as well: Some of the many excursion options include the Unesco World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein, the venerable Villa Hügel of the Krupp family, and the Museum Folkwang.

Essen can be reached easily from any direction, both by motorway and by aeroplane. All the major long-distance trains stop at Essen Central Station, including ICE and Metropolitan. Essen Convention will help you with planning and implementation of events in the green Ruhr area.
