Best meeting region in Germany for the restart: The Allgäu

Anyone who has ever worked with a view of rolling hills, alpine meadows, and the panorama of the Allgäu Alps knows that this environment is inspiring. The region not only offers a unique natural backdrop, but also an excellently developed infrastructure for business events of all kinds. From charming seminar hotels with personal service to spacious conference centers with state-of-the-art technology, everything is available. The AllgäuStern Hotel in Sonthofen stands out as one of the largest conference hotels in the region. With over 20 light-filled event rooms, an integrated mountain hut for evening events, and flexible room layout, it is suitable for large groups as well as smaller breakout sessions.

For companies that want to meet in a historic setting, places such as Immenstadt Castle or the former Benedictine monastery in Irsee offer ideal conditions. These venues combine Baroque architecture with modern conference technology. Particularly noteworthy is the combination of high-speed Wi-Fi, customizable rooms, and a wide range of leisure activities, such as walks in the monastery garden or creative evening programs in the castle courtyard.

Those who like innovation and sustainability will also find what they are looking for in the Allgäu. Rapunzel World in Legau, for example, combines sustainability with architecture and offers a conference experience that inspires holistically. In addition to a spacious atrium and modern seminar rooms, participants can expect organic catering from the hotel's own production, a yoga room for active breaks, and a wine cellar for relaxed evenings. The Explorer Hotels in Oberstdorf and Nesselwang also set standards in terms of climate friendliness: as certified passive houses, they stand for energy-efficient meetings with urban design standards.

Digitally savvy companies also benefit from the consistent focus of many event venues on hybrid formats. Professional lighting and sound technology, stable networks, video streaming, and interactive tools are now standard even in rural locations. Local providers support the implementation of conferences with remote participants, hybrid workshops, and virtual team offsites.

A decisive advantage of the Allgäu lies in its extraordinary fringe program. Here, breaks are not idle time, but real added value. Companies can take their teams on guided summit hikes, test their teamwork in climbing parks, or recharge their batteries on an e-bike tour through picturesque landscapes. Culinary experiences are also part of the program: from tasting regional cheese specialties in a show dairy to a hearty hut evening with music, Allgäu delicacies, and a campfire atmosphere. Those who prefer a quieter pace can enjoy wellness moments in the region's thermal baths or take part in a forest bathing workshop.

This variety of offerings makes the Allgäu a region that is much more than just a backdrop for business. It becomes a source of inspiration for new ideas, a setting for intensive exchange, and a stage for team experiences that bring people together. Especially after the summer break, when it's time to rekindle motivation and get started together, the Allgäu shows its strengths: close to nature, professional, inspiring.

Whether it's a large strategy conference, a creative team retreat, or a small restart workshop – anyone planning a conference in the Allgäu is choosing a region that appeals to both the heart and the mind. And thus creates the best conditions for a successful start to the second half of the year.

Now is the time to not only plan your next meeting, but to rethink it. In the Allgäu.
