| | Munich’s MICE industry is ready for 2021 and beyond | | Munich has a longstanding tradition of being one of the most popular MICE destinations. But what makes the Bavarian state capital such a unique destination? Some may say it is the city's world famous "Gemütlichkeit", others will point to its great connectivity and traditions for hospitality. However, there's one thing everybody will agree on: The city's excellent MICE infrastructure. The team at the Munich Convention Bureau shares exciting news about the city's new hotel and venue openings as well as great events awaiting Munich's visitors in 2021 and beyond.

| | Business events of the future: multi-sensory, authentic and experiential | | After 18 months of in-depth research, the Future Meeting Space innovation network presented the results of its latest study project at an online event on 22 February. Findings include that the relevance of events for an organisation's overall communications mix will continue to grow in the future and that the increasingly hybrid set-up of meetings and conferences extends their reach, both from a time and geographical perspective. At the same time, the desire for physical locations and authentic experiences is growing.
