MPI selects Düsseldorf for 2011
Düsseldorf will be the next host of Meeting Professionals International (MPI) European Meetings and Events Conference (EMEC) in 2011.
The city was selected after an intensive review process which included its ability to meet MPI’s corporate social responsibility standards. The congress will take place 12-15 February, 2011.
Hilmar Guckert, the chief executive officer of DüsseldorfCongress, said: “We are greatly looking forward to welcoming Meeting Professionals International’s annual European conference to our city next year. Düsseldorf marries considerable economic prominence and excellent infrastructure with the delightful flair of an extremely diverse, experience-packed lifestyle city – an absolutely ideal blend for association and business events. I am confident that the MPI guests will feel very much at home here.”
Didier Scaillet, chief development officer for MPI, said: “As an industry leader, it is important for us to select forward-thinking, business-centric locations for our conferences. Düsseldorf meets our criteria as a business hub of Europe and we look forward to demonstrating that meetings mean business in 2011.”
