Travelling to ProcureCon

Getting to the Venue

The conference takes place at the Congress-Centrum Koelnmesse Ost (East). Because Cologne is a major European hub, we strongly encourage you to use the excellent rail and public transport network.

Venue Address

Congress-Centrum Koelnmesse Ost Deutz-Mülheimer Straße 51, 50679 Köln, Germany

From Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN)

The airport is just 16km away and very well connected by train.

• By Train (Recommended): Take the S-Bahn line S13 or S19 (direction Horrem/Sindorf) or the Regional Express directly to the station "Köln Messe/Deutz".
• Travel time: ~12 minutes.
• Frequency: Trains run every 10–20 minutes.
• From the Station: Once you arrive at Köln Messe/Deutz, follow the green signs for "Koelnmesse" and specifically "Entrance East / Congress-Centrum Ost". It is a short, signposted walk (~350m).

From Cologne City Center (Old Town/Central Station)

The venue is on the opposite side of the Rhine from the Cathedral, but very close.

• By Public Transport: * From Central Station (Hauptbahnhof): Take any S-Bahn (S6, S11, S12, S19) for just one stop to "Köln Messe/Deutz".
• By Tram/Underground: Take Lines 3 or 4 directly to the stop "Koelnmesse". This stop is located right in front of the East Entrance.
• On Foot: If you have 20 minutes and the weather is nice, you can walk from the Cathedral across the Hohenzollern Bridge. It offers a great view of the skyline and leads you straight toward the fairgrounds.

From Other European Cities

Cologne is a "hub of Europe" with high-speed ICE (Intercity-Express) and Thalys/Eurostar connections.

• From Brussels/Paris: Direct high-speed trains arrive at Cologne Central Station or Messe/Deutz (~1h 30m from Brussels, ~3h 20m from Paris).
• From Amsterdam: Direct ICE trains run to Cologne Central Station (~2h 40m).
• From Frankfurt Airport (FRA): If you fly into Frankfurt, take the high-speed ICE train. Many services stop directly at Köln Messe/Deutz, taking only about 50–60 minutes.

Public Transport Tips

We are committed to a sustainable event and encourage all attendees to use the KVB (Cologne’s local transport).

• Apps for Navigation: Download the KVB App or DB Navigator for real-time schedules and mobile tickets.
• The "KölnCard": If you are staying longer, the KölnCard offers 24 or 48 hours of free travel plus discounts at museums and restaurants.
