MICE Branchentreff Karlsruhe 2026 - Networking with a view of the Rhine & wow effect!

📍 June 18, 2026 | MS Karlsruhe

Ship ahoy and a warm welcome to Karlsruhe. In 2026, we’ll be boarding the MS Karlsruhe on the Rhine for a MICE industry gathering that uniquely combines networking, fresh ideas, and a special atmosphere.

Let’s be honest:
How often do you search for new event venues, hotels, or suitable MICE partners—only to end up with the same options again?

That is exactly why the MICE Industry Meetup in Karlsruhe exists.

You won’t be faced with endless research or a run-of-the-mill selection, but rather an exceptional and carefully curated mix of exhibitors that will open up new possibilities for your events: venues, hotels, destinations, and partners you may not have had on your radar before.

Instead of clicking through long lists, you’ll gain real insights, have personal conversations, and discover fresh ideas—all packed into one evening in a setting you’ll remember.

Whether it's a conference, convention, workshop, or incentive trip: Here you'll find inspiration, contacts, and new ideas that you can apply directly to your next projects.

Free for event planners and organizers!

If you're tired of the same old options, secure your spot now.
