International Convention Hamburg 2013 with 25,000 visitors expected.
“ We are proud that the CCH has always played in the“ Champions’ League” in the past 40 years,” says Edgar Hirt, Director CCH.“ The CCH has succeeded in repeatedly maintaining its leading position in the convention business with a large number of internationally important conventions. Roughly 130 global conventions have been held at the CCH to date.” The top conventions included the World Cancer Convention 1990 with 10,000 participants, the ASTA World Travel Convention 1990 with 7,000 participants, the World Convention for Space Research COSPAR 1994, the World Computer Convention 1994, the UNESCO World
Conference on Adult Education 1997 and the Postal Union Congress 1984, which was simultaneously the longest convention that was ever held at the CCH with a duration of 40 days. Last year a stir was caused by the 20 th World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics, Bio Europe 2012, which is Europe’ s largest bio-technology conference, and the 10 th German Senior Citizens’ Day, which was held at the CCH attracting more than 18,000 visitors and with the participation of Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and Federal President Joachim Gauck.
Another event that is also quite special will be taking place for the first time ever in Germany from July 5 th to 9 th: the 96 th Lions Clubs International Convention. The
CCH and the trade fair halls will be the central focus of activities. The central meeting place for the 25,000 participants expected from all over the world will be in the trade fair halls. That is where seminars, workshops, the exhibition of the winners of the peace poster competition and the international photo competition as well as support & liaison for participants will be located. www. cch. de
