MKMESSE Get in touch

Not a smaller version of a global agency. A different model.

MKMESSE plans, procures and delivers international conferences and congresses for associations, corporations and institutions. We are headquartered in Munich and work worldwide through specialists selected for each destination.

How we deliver

Most international conference companies invest in large permanent offices around the world. We invest in local expertise where it creates the greatest value for our clients.

Every congress is led by an experienced international team from Munich and supported by carefully selected local specialists, destination partners and market experts. Every destination deserves the best local expertise, not simply the nearest office.

What this means for clients

  • Someone in the room who has negotiated in that city before
  • No obligation to route work through an office of our own
  • The team changes with the project, not with our capacity

How we work

One senior lead per mandate

The person who wins the work runs the work, from the first procurement decision through to the closing report.

Teams assembled per congress

Delivery teams are built around the requirements and scale of each event, not around our own capacity.

Commercial first

Room blocks, attrition, cut-off dates and contract terms are treated as a discipline in their own right, because that is where the exposure sits.

Independent by design

Supplier commissions never influence our recommendations. Where commissions apply, they are fully disclosed and offset against our agreed fee.
