Travel by train
Deutsche Bahn has restructured its event offers as of July 1, 2025. Since then, registration for each individual event has been the responsibility of the respective organizer.
Please note: You can only find out whether an event ticket is available for your desired trade fair or congress on the respective event websites of the organizers.
For Messe Dortmund's own events, registration must be done individually. The booking link generated is valid for journeys within a period of two days before and two days after the event date. There is no longer a year-round booking link for all events.
We recommend that our partners – especially congress providers and guest organizers – register their events at www.bahn.de/mice.
