Messe

The main location for the General Council is the Leipziger Messe, Seehausener Allee 1, 04356 Leipzig, Germany.

In German, “Messe” means conference grounds (sometimes translated as “fairgrounds”), but we refer to it simply as the “Messe.” At the Messe itself, the Council will occupy two buildings: the Congress Center Leipzig (CCL) and Hall 2. The CCL contains the registration desk, offices and smaller meeting rooms while Hall 2 has the plenary meeting hall, the dining room and the display area.

The General Council offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day the Council is in session in Leipzig.

Registration will take place in the CCL.

Maps for the Messe will be provided in the information packets provided during registration check-in.

Smoking
Smoking in Germany is only permitted in designated public places or specially designated smokers’ areas. Smoking is not permitted inside of the plenary hall or CCL. Please be mindful of signs posted which indicate where smoking may be allowed. Whether smoking is permitted inside hotel rooms will be indicated by respective hotel rules.
