We gave the 2015 Annual Report of Hamburg
Messe und Congress GmbH (HMC) this title as
trade fairs and conventions are places of innova-
tion, new ideas, new paths – they are a driving
force in many ways.
2015 was also an eventful, emotional and diverse
year. A year that began with the anniversary
celebrations for “650 years of trade fairs in
Hamburg”, that presented the company and its
staff with completely unexpected challenges in
late summer and that closed with a new record
level of revenue in an uneven year. In between,
around 270 very different events were held on
the trade fair grounds and at the CCH – Congress
Center Hamburg. Some impressions of this event-
ful year are described on the following pages.
HMC hopes you enjoy reading this report.
