 | | HCCE Newly Elected President Holger Kruppe |
Dear Colleagues,
Following Walter Straub (Hofburg, Wien), Michael Sharp (Central Hall Westminster, London) Holger Kruppe (Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal) was unanimously elected as president of HCCE at Slot Zeist, The Netherlands during the Annual General Assembly 6th May 2011.
Holger Kruppe remarked: in 1994 Niki Braisach, Graz, Walter Straub, Vienna, and others first met to discuss the formation of an association for unique conference and concert venues. The association members would serve the meeting industry as the
premier partner with their unique historic environment. In 1995 twelve exceptional venues formed the alliance and selected the title for the
group as the Historic Conference Centres of Europe - HCCE. Today
HCCE is an association registered in the UK, London, with 22 members
in 12 significantly different European countries and more waiting to join.
Clients of HCCE members can count on highly professional teams that
aim not only to offer the highest quality service but to create long term business relationships. HCCE recognise and greatly appreciate clients recommending HCCE venues to other clients and friends following the outstanding service and unique environment that they have enjoyed.
With 22 centres in 12 countries clients can celebrate future events at distinctive member venues across Europe.
Come and feel the outstanding experience you gain when offering your clients the environment that makes each event special. Increase your reputation with your clients by seeing and feeling the outstanding possibilities of historic heritage buildings at HCCE members venues.
Best wishes,
Holger Kruppe
