The hotel is located within walking distance from Düsseldorf international airport (IATA code DUS) and just a quarter of an hour away from Düsseldorf main railway station using a local transport train.The organising committee is currently busy scouting locations for the Icebreaker, Galadiner etc., finding accommodation for visiting members (IBD delegates stay at the Maritim) – and preparing some pre and post tours.Visitors not attending the IBD Meeting 2025 will be offered the odd** event like presentations, sightseeing, company tours, cultural events, games, talks, tastings, cozy hours, get-togethers and much more (a bit like for a German annual gathering).If you have wishes or recommendations for things you want to see, visit, taste, drink, or hear during the tours or as an event part of the IBD+, please drop us an email at ibd2025-wish-list@mensa.de.
