From the opening of our Confex to the dance floor 💃🕺 Last Friday, we celebrated our annual Koelnmesse summer party 🎉 — immediately after our official anniversary ceremony in the brand new Confex. 🏢 It was a perfect day for a toast to everything we achieved! ☀️🥂 Once again, our team members showed their talents beyond trade fairs: our colleague Philipp Wiggermann and his band thrilled the entire Koelnmesse team with their musical performance. 🎶 The Koelnmesse summer party turned out a great success! It was a wonderful conclusion to a busy run-up to our grand ceremony. 😊 Don’t think, however, that this concludes our anniversary content! 😜 Koelnmesse calls 2024 its "anniversary year" for a reason. There is a lot more to come! 🙌 🎥: Koelnmesse GmbH / Thomas Volkmar #koelnmesse #koelnmesse100 #celebrate #work

Koelnmesse CEO Gerald Böse took the two grandchildren of the trade fair's legendary founder, Konrad Adenauer, on an anniversary walk across our old and new exhibition grounds to celebrate our 100th birthday. 🎉 Konrad Adenauer was regarded as the visionary behind Koelnmesse, but as the former Lord Mayor of Cologne, he also left his mark on the city. 🙌 The history walk with Paul Bauwens Adenauer and Dr. Patrick Adenauer was more than just a symbolic gesture, it forms a bridge between the generations for the future and emphasizes the continued importance of our trade fair for the regional and international business community. Since its founding, Koelnmesse has played a central role in Cologne's economic development, transforming the city into a thriving trade and business centre. 💯 During the walk, Gerald Böse and Adenauer's grandsons discuss the origins and transformation of the trade fair, reflect on the challenges and successes of the past decades and discuss current trends and visions for the future of the trade fair industry.
