Venue

The conference will be hosted in the World Conference Center Bonn (former seat of the German Parliament) and the Deutsche Welle.

Built in 1875, the Wasserwerk served as the provisional seat of the German Bundestag from 1986 until 1992, and was used until the new plenary chamber in the Bundeshaus had been completed. The neighboring Pumpenhaus served as an additional visitor center to which parliamentary sessions were transmitted live. Both buildings are land-marked due to their historic significance, and possess unique and historic outside façades.
