Events boost the appeal of the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia
Düsseldorf Congress organises major pivotal events thereby contributing to the image and economical prosperity in the city and its surroundings.

They make the city more attractive and increase both its national and international recognition levels as a destination.

Economic factor and employer in the region
The company markets the North Rhine-Westphalian capital as a location for events both at national and international level thereby constantly adding to the city’s economic power.
