Frankfurt. The German league of the Historic Conference Centres of Europe has grown again with the membership confirmation of its 9th German member, the historic Festhalle, the oldest facility of the Messe Frankfurt Venue GmbH + Co. KG.  This location will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2009. It can host up to 4,880 people theatre style (5,646 qm) on the ground floor and up to 9.500 incorporating the two balconies. There are four additional meeting rooms in the same building. Claudia Delius-Fisher, Director Congress Frankfurt at Messe Frankfurt Venue delightfully explains: “Our anniversary next year was the key to join HCCE immediately. From other HCCE members in Germany we discovered the many opportunities that will uplift our centre’s profile to international clients. We are eager to show how we combine our monumental building with the highest quality of 21st century meeting facilities.” www.hcce.com
