Munich, the capital of the Free State of Bavaria, pairs a historic Altstadt (old town) with a skyline shaped by some of Europe’s most distinctive modern architecture. It is a fitting host city for a congress built around the theme “Inspired by Architecture, Trusted by Professionals”, and offers plenty to explore around the congress schedule.
Beyond the congress itself, delegates are encouraged to take some time to discover the city, from its landmark public spaces and museums to its renowned Bavarian hospitality.
