Munich's event calendar is packed each year – and in the coming months, hundreds of thousands of guests from all over the world are expected. Whether at congresses, meetings, trade fairs, or public events: for MICE professionals, the Bavarian capital is simply unmissable!
Presenting world premieres, setting trends, and shaping markets: Munich's renowned trade fairs are pivotal in the exhibition landscape and enjoy an excellent reputation far beyond the city's and country's borders. Events like eMove360 Europe 2024 focus on groundbreaking global developments, while EXPO REAL offers an international networking platform for the real estate market.
The reason so many businesses and guests return year after year isn't just the modern, flexible exhibition grounds; it's also the character of our city: between trade fair visits, network-events, and quick trips to nature, it's often just a few minutes.
You can find an overview of trade fairs here.
Munich remains a top choice for organisers of conferences and congresses in 2024. And for good reason: The variety of locations for professional exchange is vast – and the options for subsequent team or side events are even greater. Thanks to the ultra-modern equipment in our MICE locations, many events can also be held as hybrid or even purely virtual gatherings.
A special highlight is the 25th International AIDS Conference in July, which serves as a leading global platform for advancing HIV response and bridges science, advocacy, and human rights. Whether it's through cross-industry formats or a focus on specific expertise, the event calendar for the coming months is well-filled. We look forward to welcoming international guests who will take not only valuable insights for their professional life but also a piece of Munich back home with them after their stay.

Munich has top-notch infrastructure for sporting events – and it will be utilized multiple times during UEFA EURO 2024. The Allianz Arena, which will be called the "Munich Football Arena" during the tournament, will host not only the opening match between Germany and Scotland on June 14 but also three group stage matches, a round of 16 match, and the semi-final on July 9. Regardless of match results, we are confident that teams from all over Europe and their fans will love our city.
To kick off the Football Championship, Munich will celebrate the Fan Fest Festival at Theresienwiese on Wednesday (12.6.) featuring superstar Ed Sheeran as the headliner, and starting Friday (14.6.), the Fan Zone in Olympiapark will become the go-to spot for football and entertainment – including a huge public viewing area and a 31-day free music, culture, and sports programme.
World stars like Adele, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, and Justin Timberlake, just to name a few, are coming to Munich, and all classical music fans will find the perfect contrast programme in the opera festivals and the open-air series "Opera for All." An overview of concerts can be found here.
In late summer, millions of (online) viewers will have their eyes on Munich. The finals of the 2024 League of Legends EMEA Championship will be held here over two days.
