Large-scale & Sports Events
An interview with Onur Hakgüder, Event Planner at the Frankfurt Tourist+Congress Board
Frankfurt is not only the ideal location for holding congresses and conferences, it also offers visitors a comprehensive range of cultural and recreational activities. These include, amongst many others, fun fairs such as the “Wäldchestag” forest festival, the Museum Embankment Festival and the Frankfurt Christmas Market, all of which take place in Frankfurt every year. In speaking with Onur Hakgüder, special events planner at the Frankfurt Tourist+Congress Board, we learn about the challenges faced when planning such large-scale events, the importance of hygiene, safety and security at special events, and – last but not least – the many highlights awaiting visitors of the UEFA EURO 2024 football tournament in Frankfurt this summer.
