The staff at visitBerlin were extremely helpful and supportive, providing advice and information whenever called upon. I should like to make particular mention of Ms Aline Weber, who took the trouble to visit the Congress hotel during the event to ensure that all was going according to plan.

Services Berlin Convention Office Testimonial von Joséphine Gourlet EASL

visitBerlin was of the greatest assistance to organise our conference in Berlin, showcasing the best venues in accordance with our needs, as well as organising an out of the box city tour with our top VIPs. visitBerlin is one of the most supportive convention bureaus across Europe, very helpful!

Joséphine Gourlet, Event Coordinator European Association for the Study of the Liver

I would like to thank visitBerlin for its participation in the 2016 FIM Gala Ceremony in Berlin. Without the interest and involvement of Berlin's Convention Office, it would not have been such a resounding success. I was pleased to count on its support at the FIM’s most glamorous event of the year.

Aurélie Carbon, Events and TV Coordinator FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme), Switzerland
