AXICA Eventlocation

What AXICA Eventlocation does

AXICA Kongress- und Tagungszentrum Pariser Platz 3 GmbH operates a premium conference and event venue at Pariser Platz 3 in Berlin-Mitte, directly adjacent to the Brandenburg Gate. The venue occupies the DZ BANK building designed by architect Frank O. Gehry and is wholly owned by DZ BANK, the German cooperative bank, while operating with independent management. Its physical product comprises multiple configurable event spaces — including the Plenum, the Forum (capacity up to 500 guests), Sky Lobby and Lounges, the Quadriga, up to eight conference rooms, a Gehry Lounge, a Foyer, an Auditorium, and a Gallery with Boardroom — supported by integrated LED mediawalls, digital signage, and AV/IT infrastructure.

AXICA monetizes through a bundled event-services model: venue rental, exclusive on-site catering (no external caterers permitted, with catering minimum revenue commitments), AV/IT technical services, and end-to-end event planning and coordination. Pricing is quote-based, supported by an online Eventkalkulator with dynamic pricing that produces non-binding quotes; advance-payment terms (50% within two weeks, 100% if within two months of event) and tiered cancellation fees (100% room rental, 80% catering minimum, 50% technical revenue) reduce revenue volatility. The company is ISO 20121 certified for sustainable event management and has published a Common Good Economy (GWÖ) balance sheet since 2021.

The customer base spans four primary verticals — corporate and enterprise, federal and international government, industry associations and NGOs, and international organizations — with named clients including the Federal Government of Germany, Global Solutions Initiative, BDT, RNE, ICMP, INMA, BDI, Atlantic Council, the City of Kyiv, and parent DZ BANK. GTM is consultative enterprise field sales (event consultations and site visits) complemented by inside sales and self-service through the Eventkalkulator. The venue is operated by a small team led by Managing Directors Nathalie Dahmann-Harbecke and Marc-Alexander Mundstock.
