The Stuttgart region is one of Europe's leading economic and most innovative metropolitan areas.

Combined with a unique diversity of cultural, recreational and leisure facilities, Baden-Württemberg's state capital and its surrounding region are an ideal location for congresses and conferences as well as for all kinds of other events.

In 2007 the attractiveness of Stuttgart as an events venue will reach a peak with the opening (19th October) of the new exhibition centre, "Neue Messe Stuttgart", which also comprises the ICS International Congresscenter Stuttgart.

With an exhibition area of 100,000 sq.m. and highly flexible congress halls and conference rooms for 20 - 4,500 participants and/or a total capacity of some 9,000 visitors, the new exhibition and congress centre will provide an exceptional range of possibilities for staging events in the most modern of surroundings directly adjacent to Stuttgart International Airport and the motorway.

These and an outstanding range of numerous other congress centres, conference hotels and locations are presented clearly and in detail, in German and English, in the new Meeting Guide.

The 270 competent providers - more than ever before - are proof that Baden-Württemberg's state capital and its surrounding region are in great demand as a venue for business, academic and political functions.

All the meeting places and hotels mentioned are also listed in a data bank at www.stuttgart-tourist.de, thus enabling a direct on-line search in accordance with specific requirements.
