INVESTMENTS
WE ARE CHANGING FOR YOU Modern, functional infrastructure and professionalism are features owing to which Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie has for years been able to bear the name of the biggest and the most modern exhibition-conference center in Poland. That also provides the grounds to try to get an adequate title in Central-Eastern Europe. Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie is constantly carrying out a range of investments to modernize their premises and thus adjust to their clients’ needs. The varied size and character of its pavilions and conference rooms, as well as a 2,OOO-place parking lot make the premises of the MTP good not only for fair events, willingly visited by crowds of people, but also for congresses, cozy business meetings, and international concerts featuring stars.
Garden in front of Congress Center With a view to the participants of conference-congress events taking place in Poznań Congress Center, an intimate, terrace-shaped garden was designed with growing oak, yew, platanus, and lime trees. Recreational areas have been integrated with the greenery, together with benches and a modern fountain. The project was designed by Studio ADS, Poznań’s most famous architecture office, whose portfolio boasts such realizations as Stary Browar shoping centre, and the Passenger Terminal of Ławica Airport.
Removal of railway and surface repair In order to increase the quality of MTP’s services and to facilitate the entry of heavy goods vehicles supplying expositions for fair events held by the MTP, certain investments were made in terms of area development. A new layout of sidewalks, streets, and parking lot spaces were determined, new sidewalk blocks were laid as well as an asphalt surface from the main entry gate in Śniadeckich Street up to the Spire (Pavilion 11) – the central point of fair premises. There is generally nothing left of the old railway dating back to the second half of the 19th century. The only small fragment was left at O8 / POZNAŃ FAIR MAGAZINE
Mark’s Square nearby pavilions 3 and 3A, which will be used for rail vehicle presentations during tradeshows. Moreover, the entrance to the Fair Center from fair premises also became more beautiful – the so-far raw surroundings were softened by fancy flowerbeds.

Pavilion’s 8A new life A new pavilion 8A is being built as a part of this year’s modernization of fair objects. It is supposed to be fitted for constructing modern, multistory stands with the maximum construction height increasing from 4.5m up to 1Om. Another novelty will include escalators and elevators, which will enable access to the entresol. Owing to all these
characteristics, the object will be void of any architectural barriers. Apart from that, the building will be joined with pavilion 15 Poznań Congress Center by an over-ground connecting link of 6m wide and 65m long. It will make it possible to organize big conference and cultural events in pavilion 15 happening parallel to even bigger events in the so-called ‘four-pack’ (the complex of pavilions 7, 7A, 8 and 8A connected with a roofed Lime Tree Alley). The company responsible for the project of modernization and general development is Wechta Ltd. and the assumed ending of the investment was planned for the mid-February 2O14. Investments around the fair – Integrated Communication Center One of the biggest investments in Poznań took place just nearby Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie, including the bus and railway stations, a city tram stop as well as office buildings, parking lots, and a department store, called Integrated Communication Center Poznań Główny. Owing to that investment, Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie became an even more attractive venue for business and cultural meetings. The proximity of an international communication link, i.e. Poznań Główny, and moving the location of the bus station, as well as a new streets and communication layout will make it easier for fair visitors and exhibitors to get to the MTP fairgrounds. Finally, a three-story parking lot and an abundant gastronomy-hotel infrastructure will be additional facilities. POZNAŃ FAIR MAGAZINE / O9

Małgorzata Czubak Project manager of AKTYWNI 5O+ The ageing of society, the growing activity and buyers strength of the elderly are the potential for so-called ‘silver economy’, which means an economic strategy aimed at taking advantage of the elderly people’s potential yet taking into account their needs. Old age, but understood rather as maturity and life experience, can become a great period of life, when you can devote yourself to developing your passions, travelling, voluntary work, and making your dreams come true. The growing market of the elderly means a great potential for the development of innovative products and services, but, above all, it is a chance to create a better life for the 5O+ generation.

CONGRESSES / EVENTS / CONCERTS / TRADESHOWS
RECIPE FOR A SUCCESSFUL EVENT Over 7O conference halls, 16 exposition pavilions, a concert hall for 2,OOO people which the biggest European congress centers would not mind and experience in organizing big, international events – this is a ready-made recipe for an unforgettable event in Poznań.
Poznań is one of the most important points on the Polish map of conferences and congresses, known among participants and speakers for years. Owing to consequent investments in the infrastructure and latest technological solutions, Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie is now among the key players of the international meetings industry. The size matters The fair events have for years been only an option of a wide range of possibilities in the MTP’s offer. The potential of this place is best proven by figures. The facility, which is at the POZNAŃ CONGRESS CENTER disposal with the MTP’s team specialized in the organization of fair events, makes up more than 15O,OOO square meters of congress, exhibition and open-air area. It consists of conference halls with nearly limitless layout arrangement, exhibition pavilions with the biggest one housing nearly 11.5 thousand people, and the avant-garde Earth Hall conference room for 2 thousand people. The parking lot has been designed for the same number of participants. Finally, the guests can also find restaurants, bars and café which are ideal for business meetings on the grounds of the fair. 38 / POZNAŃ FAIR MAGAZINE
All that is located in the very city center of Poznań and together with good communication links (roughly 2O minutes from Ławica Airport and 5 minutes from the railway station) and nearly 13,OOO resting-places, it creates very favorable conditions for big events. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that some dates are booked by congress organizers even a few years in advance.
Hall of great possibilities What matters in the organization of the most prestigious events is the infrastructure, experience and uniqueness. The latter is something that makes not only the event, but also the program and location memorable. In order to meet the most demanding needs and world standards, the Earth Hall was created. It is the biggest and the most spectacular building investment of Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie in the last years. The great concert hall can room 2,OOO participants and can be arranged in three ways. Thus, it is easily adjustable for a plenary congress session, a theatre performance, a concert, as well as a sports event. All that comes with a cutting-edge multimedia
equipment, an excellent foyer which proves outstanding in case of accompanying events, as well as an adjacent terrace-shaped garden, and that consequently results in an area which makes every event destined to be successful. Strength is in variety The MTP has for years been a strong player of the meetings industry, and it is also a key example showing the importance of an extended infrastructure, innovative technological solutions and experience in attaining the most complex and logistically demanding events. As far as experience goes, the PCC gains it ever year by organizing nearly 2,OOO events, including congresses, conferences, cultural and sports events, on the grounds of Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie, which are participated by nearly half million people from across the world. The success of such prestigious undertakings as COP14 United Nations Climate Conference, conferences accompanying the presidency of Poland in the EU Council, and a range of science congresses followed by recommendations for the PCC are what constitutes a great capital attracting other remarkable events. A perfect example to prove that is the competition for the organization of an international congress of IT Directions EMEA in 2O14 recently won by the PCC, and the promotion of Poznań and the MTP to the shortlist of WOMEX International Trade Fair of Ethnic Music. As far as the latter is concerned, only 9 European cities, including Poznań, are taken into account as it goes to its organization in the years 2O15-2O17. POZNAŃ FAIR MAGAZINE / 39
