Business – Leipzig

Hearing the name Leipzig, many people think of tradefairs. That has been the case for centuries and well before the book fair, the Automobile International or the Games Convention – the best-known Leipzig fairs today – were even thought of. The city was granted market rights in 1165 and imperial trade fair rights in 1497. Its former trade fair buildings and arcades, and above all its cosmopolitan atmosphere, bear witness to Leipzig's eventful history as a city of trade.

Leipzig sets itself apart with its unique interplay of tradition and innovation, dynamism and development, and entrepreneurial and fonding spirit. The new Leipzig Trade Fair specialises in made-to-measure tradeshows. In addition, the city has become a popular location for first-class conventions, held in venues such as the Congress Center Leipzig or one of the numerous convention and conference hotels. Moreover, there are countless event locations available for tasteful evenig programmes, each with its own distinct style.

The many cultural attractions that Leipzig has to offer, the stunning Wilhelminian architecture, numerous shopping arcades, attractive hotels and special locations and last but not least, the hospitality of the people of Leipzig provide the perfect setting for your event. When coming to Leipzig, you will breathe the spirit of the city and you will leave Leipzig inspired and full of new ideas. See for yourself!
