‘Even after 28 years at Intercongress, it has never been boring for me, as I always face interesting and exciting challenges. ’
‘At Intercongress, reconciling work and family life is not just an empty slogan – here we live and work together and there is room for every life situation. I’m super happy that motherhood and leadership can be combined. ’
‘Intercongress is my first child ;-), which I was able to support in its growth with a lot of love, passion, enthusiasm, optimism and tenacity – always accompanied by valuable people with the same goals and passion.’
‘I was proud when I combined the budgets and exhibition concepts of the Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon Congresses into a completely new whole in 2003 and the result after the congress was positive. But when I joined Intercongress in 1995, I already realised that it would be exciting and that I would be able to keep developing here…! ’
‘I like to compare working at Intercongress to a football World Cup: every team does its best to please the fans, but also itself, and to go through life with pride. Team spirit, fun and motivation are very important. It’s no different in our office or when we travel to a congress together.’
‘After working as an external service provider for Intercongress for some time, I have been part of the Intercongress team since July 2018. A great team, a company where an appreciative, family-friendly corporate culture is truly lived.’
‘I love my job as an office dog! Especially the regular cuddles from my human colleagues and the various treat stations in the office are the reason why I enjoy coming into the office every day. The naps in between are of course not to be neglected either…’
‘After an exciting congress, the journey home could be really boring. Not so with the Intercongress team: how many tears I’ve laughed, chips & donuts I’ve shared and hoarseness I’ve suffered from singing along too loudly – it’s always an experience with this team!’
‘For me, it’s all about the mix, like a good cocktail: professionalism mixed with individuality, fun and team spirit – that’s the delicious Intercongress cocktail. And the drinks in the entire bar are a perfect match. Cheers!’
‘The Intercongress team is something very special: we treat each other with a great deal of goodwill and appreciation. Everyone gives their best and at the end of every project we have a great professional congress that can only be so good through teamwork. And it’s fun too!’
‘Enthusiasm for technology and yet customer contact – that’s what makes Team Registration special!’
‘For me, Intercongress means having fun at work. Here I have the opportunity to develop personally and do my bit to turn many pieces of the puzzle into a whole. We also get the all-round carefree package here: a great team, professional collaboration, flexibility, warmth, a pleasant working atmosphere and great moments in the office every day.’
‘For me personally, Intercongress means experiencing something new every day in a dynamic team and the joy of creating new successes and meeting inspiring people at successful congresses through shared strength and motivation in a professional environment.
‘I have fond memories of the tingling, positive atmosphere of creating and tackling things together for and during the DKOU. We used to do everything ourselves. That was super exhausting, but it brought us closer together. Fortunately, we’ve become much more efficient in the meantime – but the passion hasn’t been lost!’
‘I was practically born to be an office dog, as I’ve been coming to the office every day since I was a puppy. A day without going to the office is definitely a day lost. After all, what could be nicer than being cuddled and stroked by all sorts of people all day long? Regular play activities such as ball games or tugging games are added so that it doesn’t get boring.’
‘Hello, I’m Bliss, an old German, rather shy pug girl. I haven’t been at Intercongress that long, but I like it a lot. The best thing is that everyone is really nice to me and I still get to sit under my pug mum’s desk, where I feel most comfortable. And I never get bored there, because lots of interesting things happen every day!’
‘If you want to take on a lot of responsibility at Intercongress, you get it. And yet there is always a strong team in the background that you can rely on. That’s what makes Intercongress special for me.’
With a strong and reliable team behind you, you can overcome any difficulty! It’s nice and challenging to be part of such a strong, efficient and multi-faceted team, to work at a high professional level, but where joy, fun and humanity also have their place. We also convey these qualities to the outside world – to our customers and in the congresses we organise.’
‘What do I particularly like about my day-to-day work at Intercongress? – That it’s not ordinary! You’re constantly in contact with different people, different challenges and as a team you’re really strong when it comes to finding solutions. Despite all this, there’s always a good atmosphere here and there’s always something to laugh about!’
‘For me personally, the greatest thing about recurring congresses is the reunion with the contributors and participants. It’s like an annual meeting of the ‘congress family’! :-)’
‘Intercongress, my second home! Chilling out, meeting the dog girls and going for a walk around the block are the highlights of my office day.’
‘My work at Intercongress is incredibly fun and fulfils me time and time again. I am delighted to be part of such a great team and am grateful for the many opportunities that are given to me here.’
‘For me, Intercongress means variety and versatility combined with a great team.’
‘What I particularly like about my work in the industry team is the personal contact with our customers. I’ve known some of them since my early days and often see them on site at conferences. Thanks to our close collaboration, we have also got to know each other personally and know that we can rely on each other. I really like that.’

‘At Intercongress, I experience the true meaning of agility: from the ability to bring my dog to the office, to the flexibility of working from home, to the seamless collaboration with my colleagues in the team. The variety and quality of the onsite assignments enrich my professional experience and emphasise why I am proud to be part of this company.’
‘On the one hand, the diversity of the job as a project manager is a daily challenge, but on the other hand it also gives me more opportunities to get involved, develop further and organise the event together with the team. Since the second part predominates, I do the job with enthusiasm every day and look forward to the next few years at Intercongress!’
‘For me, Intercongress embodies a warm, appreciative and efficient collaboration across the entire organisation. I look forward every day to the personal dialogue over lunch and the digital exchange with colleagues outside Freiburg. What I really appreciate is the ‘spirit’ of wanting to make a difference together. Every day, no matter how exhausting or challenging, holds warm and sunny moments.’
‘For me, the best thing about my work is when customers congratulate us after an exhausting congress and thank us from the bottom of their hearts.’
‘What do I like to remember? Many great, enriching, warm and wonderful moments at the congress. And the extraordinary team spirit! Want an example? The return journey from the DVSE Congress in Berlin in 2012: we take the van back to the office and look back on the past few days – a great congress, a great team and a return journey full of energy, music and lots of fun!’
‘For me, Intercongress is particularly characterised by the ‘togetherness’. We have a common goal that we can only achieve as a team. For me, the cordial and cooperative collaboration between colleagues is the quintessence of the company.’

‘‘Intercongress opens up new horizons’ ……. me personally by learning new things every day in a great team and having the pleasure of meeting a wide variety of people at congresses again and again!’
‘For me, Intercongress means entering an office with a great team every morning and hearing all kinds of “good mornings” on my morning round through the office.
‘For me, Intercongress is more than just an employer! Over the years, you can organise great events with many different congress teams, which connects you and makes you proud! We have the opportunity to grow with our tasks here and there is no better feeling than bringing a congress to a successful conclusion for everyone involved.’
‘At Intercongress, I have not only found a career, but an inspiring community. The open culture encourages my professional development and creative collaboration. I am proud to be part of this dynamic team that creates successful events – and meaningful relationships.’
‘As an HR manager, everything for me revolves around the people in the company. Finding, developing, retaining, challenging and promoting them is my top priority. I see people in their uniqueness and individuality and endeavour to find those who, in addition to their expertise, also fit perfectly into the company on a personal level.’
‘For me, Intercongress means mastering challenging tasks every day and knowing that I have a strong team beside me. The pleasant atmosphere in the office, the respectful interaction with each other and the great flexibility bring work and life into balance. Our Freiburg cookery group is always a highlight!’
‘I like the variety of tasks at Intercongress, which constantly present us with new challenges. We remain curious and open and can always rely on the support of the team if something doesn’t run smoothly… Our customers also appreciate this quality, which means that we always have a great and friendly working relationship!’
