Summer meetings rethought: creativity in the open air
Why not swap the conference table for a garden table - and let ideas sprout where fresh air and birdsong inspire your thinking? Summer is the perfect time of year to rethink meetings: more relaxed, more inspiring and above all - outdoors.
These are the benefits of summer meetings:
- Fresh perspectives: The change of location encourages creativity and solution-oriented thinking
- Better mood: sunshine and nature ensure a good mood and motivation
- Team building included: Informal, summery settings promote exchange at eye level
- Flexible formats: Many locations offer hybrid options - from outdoor workshops to after-work events on the roof terrace
Creative meeting ideas with a summer feeling:
- “Think tank in the green”: creative workshop under trees or in a garden pavilion
- Rooftop brainstorming: broaden your horizons with a view of the skyline or old town
- Meeting & picnic: Lunch on the lawn - informal, relaxed, connecting
- After-work cocktail round: instead of ending the meeting in the office - enjoy a sundowner with colleagues
Our tip: consciously use the summer for formats that not only convey content, but also strengthen emotional bonds - this has a direct impact on team spirit, creativity and motivation.

Rooftop vibes & urban style: meetings with a view - MICE Service Group
The best ideas are often born above the rooftops of the city. Rooftop locations not only offer a spectacular view, but also a very special atmosphere: urban, inspiring and refreshingly different. In cities such as Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt or Wiesbaden, there are real summer gems for business events that leave an impression.
Whether for a creative team meeting, an exclusive customer event or a summer party with a networking factor - the combination of stylish ambience, fresh air and a view has an invigorating and motivating effect.
Our top recommendations:
- Rheinloft Cologne: Over 600 m² roof garden, Mediterranean style, panoramic view over Cologne and the cathedral - exclusive, stylish, unique.
- Forty Four Düsseldorf: Urban rooftop loft with design flair and state-of-the-art event technology - modern, versatile and right in the heart of the city.
These locations offer the perfect backdrop for sophisticated summer events - be it an executive workshop or a relaxed get-together with cocktails and DJ sounds.
Many rooftops can be booked exclusively - ideal for brand presentations, product presentations or stylish summer parties with a business character. Get in touch with us.
