INTERNORGA has always been a platform for networking, for inspiration and for discovering new trends. This is exactly what the two major industry confrences, which have been bringing together the Who's Who in Hamburg for decades, cover.

A full day of exciting lectures and discussions awaits visitors in Hamburg.

On 9 March 2023, the who's who of the industry will meet at the Congress Center in Hamburg.
