More than 2,000 years of history have left their mark on the centre of Cottbus. Industrialisation and mechanisation led to enormous expansion in the town, turning it into an important industrial centre. Today, Cottbus is the "gateway to the Spree Forest", with a broad range of cultural and educational facilities, as well as an outstanding venue for trade fairs and conferences offering a historical setting with modern amenities.

Whether you are organising a small seminar or a large event, you are certain to find a suitable venue in Cottbus. In addition to the Messe Cottbus and Stadthalle Cottbus, there are a number of other conference and seminar facilities to choose from. CMT Cottbus can help with the organisation of your event, covering everything from event design and budgeting to marketing, accommodation and participant services.

In addition to its large exhibition halls and conference centres, Cottbus also has a number of smaller venues. For somewhere a bit more unusual and creative, you could try an old weaving mill, for example.
