Drinks reception in the Exhibition area at the hotel
After the last session on Day 1 we welcome you to join us for drinks in the exhibition area.
Gala dinner at the Frankfurt City Hall Römer
Although never a bishop seat, Frankfurt’s Dom was the place where German kings were chosen from 1356 onwards and German Emperors were crowned some 200 years later. The banquets that followed were held in the imperial hall or Römer, a building complex consisting of three half-timbered merchant houses. In 1405, the city purchased the complex and converted it to the town hall. Ever since it has been the symbol of the city. Even today, Frankfurt’s city council holds its meetings here. As far back as the Middle Ages, fairs and markets took place inside the town hall’s Römerhallen and on the Römerberg outside. Today, the Römerberg is in the heart of the old town centre and a popular tourist destination.
