Berlin, August 21, 2023 – Mindspace, the global flex office provider, welcomes IFA Management GmbH as a new member in Berlin, where they will coordinate and organize IFA 2023, the world’s largest trade fair for consumer electronics and household appliances. The IFA team took up 18 workstations at Mindspace Ku’damm, which opened its doors in November 2022 in Berlin’s City West. Mindspace Ku’damm covers over 7,000 square meters of flexible workspace, directly on Kurfürstendamm. As members, the IFA team will enjoy the many Mindspace benefits, services and amenities such as 24/7 access to any Mindspace location worldwide, meeting rooms, kitchens, spacious roof terraces, as well as a podcast room and a family room.

“IFA 2023 is well prepared. We are organizing the show on a larger scale this year than we did in 2022, and all the major exhibitors plan to be there. We are excited to be a member at Mindspace, who are providing our team with an inspiring workspace with the best technical infrastructure, at an excellent location that is also not far from Messe Berlin,” says Oliver Merlin, Managing Director of IFA Management GmbH, which is responsible for organizing IFA. The IFA 2023 trade fair will take place from September 1-5 at the Messe Berlin.

“In recent years, we have seen an increasing demand for on-demand workspace solutions and companies seeking satellite offices for their hybrid work arrangements. While large companies usually have their own office space, they rely on our offerings to complement their workspace needs for long-term and short-term projects. Companies benefit from our flexibility and high adaptability to design the spaces according to their requirements. We are very pleased to welcome the IFA team during their preparations for this major event,” explains Oliver Lehmann, General Manager Mindspace in Germany.
