Newsletter Spring 2019

^{19 March 2019}

Dear Customers, Partners and Friends of the CCB,

The term sustainability assumes a number of different dimensions at the Congress Center Basel. Instead of sending out the usual end-of-year cards last year, for example, we supported the project "Education for the Next Generation: The Key to a Sustainable Future" run by the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute. By solving a shuffle puzzle, you were able to influence the amount that we donated. More information will follow in our next newsletter.

From the ecological angle, our in-house Green Team launches projects to encourage more efficient use of our natural resources – such as with the online climate calculator for organisers. And, last but not least, we naturally promote economic sustainability too: at the 50^th IAPCO Meeting we were able to welcome the international event industry to Basel and market the city as an event location, presenting it in the very best light.

Find out more about this in our current Newsletter.

I wish you delightful spring days,

Jonas Scharf, Managing Director CCB

Home game for the congress city of Basel

The 50th IAPCO Annual Meeting in mid-February put Basel and its Congress Center in the spotlight of the international event industry.

The MCH Group, as an exhibition organiser, is adapting to the changing needs of consumer exhibitions – as shown by Giardina and SWISS-MOTO.

The CO₂ calculator is one of the innovations introduced by the CCB's Green Team. This smart tool determines the emissions generated by events and encourages organisers to minimise them.
