"...I just got back to the office today and I would like to thank you, Doreen, Claudia, and the team once again for the very, very successful event. We were very enthusiastic about the format, and I can speak for my colleagues at MVGM as well.
Short but high-quality conversations, relaxed discussion partners, and I hope we impressed them a little with Magdeburg, the city of congresses and Otto. Magdeburg is full of surprises😊!
Once again, many, many thanks for your efforts and hopefully see you soon!

"Once again, many thanks to the entire ILLERHAUS Marketing team for the excellent preparation and professional planning and implementation of the MICE industry meeting and the fam trip in Düsseldorf, as well as for the support and follow-up with the wonderful photo album...
We were all very happy to be there, as we not only made new contacts with exhibitors at the networking evening and on the Fam Trip, but also got to know some interesting people. The Fam Trip Düsseldorf was simply magnificent – in two days, we not only got to know great locations, hotels and supporting program options, but also received perfect all-round support at all times!
Thank you all!!!!
Best regards, Petra Naoum

MICE Branchentreff Düsseldorf - Networking for event professionals and MICE experts

The well-known marketing agency ILLERHAUS Marketing is once again inviting event planners and MICE experts to the MICE Branchentreff Düsseldorf on October 19, 2023. The event will take place on the MS RheinGalaxie and offers a platform for hotels, hotel chains, event venues and convention bureaus to present innovative approaches to successful event planning.

The MICE Branchentreff Düsseldorf is a proven networking format that offers event planners and professionals the opportunity to make valuable contacts, exchange ideas with experts and meet potential business partners. The event aims to present the latest developments in the event industry and expand professional networks.

Susanne Illerhaus, Managing Director of ILLERHAUS Marketing, expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming event: "We are looking forward to welcoming the MICE community to the MS RheinGalaxie on October 19, 2023. This industry get-together offers a unique opportunity to find out about the latest developments, place inquiries and expand your own network."

A highlight of the event is the keynote speech by Rosemarie Thiedmann, coach and management consultant. Her presentation "New Work - The Key to the Skilled Workers' Dilemma" is dedicated to the challenges facing companies in a time of skills shortages and a lack of young talent. She will provide insights into possible solutions to this dilemma.

Even before the networking event, event planners have the opportunity to take part in a site inspection at TOPGOLF in Oberhausen. TOPGOLF is the ideal venue for unforgettable team-building experiences and incentives.

After the MICE industry meeting on the MS RheinGalaxie, selected event professionals have the chance to gain further insights on the Fam Trip Düsseldorf. In cooperation with the Düsseldorf Convention Bureau, they can explore hotels and locations during varied site inspections and experience exciting side events.

Event planners are cordially invited to take part in the Site Inspection at TOPGOLF Oberhausen, the MICE Branchentreff Düsseldorf and/or the Fam Trip Düsseldorf. These events offer inspiration for future events and the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge for successful event planning and implementation.
