Welcome to Bremen! FAM-Trip 2022
We had such a good time showing our beautiful city and possibilities for events and conventions to event planners after the IMEX 2022. We presented various hotels, locations and incentive ideas – thanks to all our partners for being a part of it. The FAM-Trip took place in cooperation with the German Convention Bureau.

DEWU Deutscher Wundkongress & Bremer Pflegekongress
After 2 years of Corona-related break, we were finally allowed to support our client, the M3B GmbH, again in the implementation of the presence event.
The BCB took over the participant management as well as the hotel arrangement for the 3.000 participants, exhibitors and speakers.
In cooperation with our congress and conference software (CVS), we digitized the badge print and certification in a contactless and secure way for the first time. Name badges were only printed on site and certificates were sent by e-mail. This saves us a lot of paper and protects the environment.
We are already looking forward to the next Wund- und Pflegekongress (Wound and Care Congress) from 10.-12.05.2023 in Bremen!
