Giffey said she was looking forward to discussing with guests from all over the world at Q Berlin. "We are in a time of simultaneous crises, all of which also have a direct impact on our city." The conference will address questions, but also possible answers, she said. According to the organisers, around 800 to 1000 participants are expected to attend Q Berlin. It is the first event of its kind at the ICC in a decade. The building, which is now a listed building, is usually no longer used as a congress centre.
