Conferences by the lake

Creativity and inspiration

The view of the vast sea, the gentle lapping of the waves or the majestic backdrop of the mountains on Lake Tegernsee - such images awaken the mind and create an atmosphere that encourages new ideas. A natural environment can open up fresh perspectives and help to develop innovative solutions.

Recreation and well-being

Conferences in stuffy conference rooms are not exactly conducive to concentration. But if you can spend your coffee break on the beach, on a lakeside promenade or on a walk along the shore, you will return to the meeting room feeling refreshed. Fresh air, natural daylight and the calming element of water increase well-being - and this in turn improves the productivity of participants.

Focus and concentration

Anyone who has ever organized a meeting in the middle of the city knows that distractions lurk everywhere: street noise, hectic hustle and bustle, crowded cafés. An event location by the water, on the other hand, offers a shielded, quiet environment that makes it easier to concentrate on the essentials. No disturbing noises, no traffic chaos - just a relaxed backdrop where meetings can be more productive.

Teambuilding and fringe programs

A conference experience is particularly successful if it remains in the memory even after the official program points. Waterfront locations offer numerous opportunities for unusual team-building activities. How about a sailing tour on Lake Constance, a mudflat hike on the North Sea or a guided kayak tour on the Baltic Sea? Stand-up paddling, beach volleyball or a shared campfire on the lakeshore will also create lasting memories and strengthen team spirit.

A conference becomes even more extraordinary when it takes place not only on the water, but directly on the water. Event ships, floating conference rooms or sailing trips offer an inspiring alternative to traditional conference rooms.

Top option: The MS Sonnenkönigin on Lake Constance

This luxurious event ship is one of the most spectacular locations for conferences in the four-country region. With a capacity of up to 1,000 people, state-of-the-art technology and a breathtaking view of Lake Constance and the Alps, every conference here will be an unforgettable experience.

Other options for meetings on the water:

• Sailing trips for small groups - brainstorming sessions or strategy meetings on a sailing boat with a fresh breeze.
• Business brunch on a yacht - ideal for exclusive networking events.
• Conference ships on the Baltic Sea and North Sea - Meetings with a direct sea view for a special setting.

Meetings on the water create a relaxed but focused atmosphere and are remembered by participants for a long time.
