What corporate events is W17 suited to?

W17 is not a generic room-rental solution but a venue that works especially well for events where the event type defines the space requirements, the layout and the technical background.

Conferences and professional days

Conferences and professional days

Both the conference room and the ceremonial hall suit conferences, professional days, panel discussions and larger presentations. Theatre layout, projection facilities and downtown accessibility are especially valuable when multiple speakers and guest registration are involved.

All-hands meetings / company gatherings

All-hands meetings / company gatherings

When the whole team or a larger organisational unit needs to come together in one space, good visibility, a unified spatial experience and a representative setting matter. W17's ceremonial hall is a particularly strong choice for such events.

Press events / press conferences

Press events / press conferences

For a press breakfast, media event, interview block or press conference, the visual appearance of the venue matters as much as the logistics. W17's downtown location, technical equipment and elegant interior provide a strong foundation.

Workshops and leadership trainings

Workshops and leadership trainings

The workshop room, the meeting rooms and the hybrid meeting room are ideal for small-group strategy sessions, facilitated workshops, internal trainings and leadership development programmes. At such events it is essential that the space supports focus and technical flexibility.
