Can I book several event spaces at the same time?
Yes, the event hall, foyer and workshop rooms can be combined. This is standard practice for multi-day formats with plenary sessions and changing group activities. Share your programme with us and we will put together the right room configuration.
How far in advance should I book an event venue?
The recommended booking lead time depends on the date and event format. In our experience, popular dates such as Fridays in spring and autumn are booked several months ahead. This is generally true of event venues in Switzerland. For larger occasions requiring specific room configurations, we recommend enquiring as early as possible. It is still worth contacting us for last-minute enquiries: we check availability within a few hours.

Pricing depends on the date, duration, room configuration and services your event requires. These may include event technology, support, furniture and catering. Tell us your guest numbers, planned programme and, if already defined, your budget. You will receive an initial individual quote within 12 hours, setting out the services offered. This lets you see the scope proposed for your event.
