Unlock ideas in the cradle of mobility

The major European business destination Stuttgart is nestled in a charming landscape of picturesque vineyards. Here, Gottlieb Daimler changed the world with his inventions in the field of mobility more than 130 years ago. World leaders like Daimler, Porsche, Bosch, Stihl and Kärcher are synonymous with Stuttgart and quality made in Germany. Let your attendees tap into the world of technology. Gain new knowledge in a destination where inventiveness and innovative spirit are a tradition! Castles and palaces bear witness to a great past. Bold futuristic architecture symbolises an equally great present. Visits or events at spectacular museums like the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche Museum guarantee unforgettable experiences.

With professional partners all along the supply chain we love to welcome your guests with warm hospitality. Celebrate at the Stuttgart Beer Festival. Taste local wine at the Stuttgart Wine Festival.

Testimonials

Karin Hanson

Karin Hanson Events

Stuttgart was an ideal location which met all of our goals. The GENIVI members, board and guests are all hard charging technology and auto leaders who want to come in and out of a destination and connect with the right people and information easily. The Stuttgart Convention Bureau and the Maritim & Liederhalle were all very helpful in making this happen for us.

Odette International

It was good to work with you again. Just a quick note to say everything was perfect, the technicians were super, the hostesses were efficient. Thank you very much for everything, the ease of preparation with you, your flexibility. Having organised many conferences in my life, I can confirm the Liederhalle is top class in terms of service quality (I really mean it). I look forward to working with you again.
