(International) conferences on this scale are also an important image factor for the congress city of Cologne.
The Congress-Centrum Koelnmesse, however, also continued to be an attractive venue for annual general meetings in 2016: already in the first half of the year it played host to BAYER AG, Covestro AG and Deutz AG.
