Up to 500 guests can meet at the DGUV Akademie conference campus in Dresden, with a 266-room hotel on the same grounds. The Akademiehotel Dresden stands at Königsbrücker Landstraße 2 in the north of the city, beside the Dresdner Heide forest. Organizers can run a seminar, a congress or a workshop series here, either by renting rooms alone or by using the Akademie's full event service.
Seminars and company events
The conference center in House 2 is built for meetings. Large windows bring in daylight, many rooms look onto greenery, and all rooms and access routes are step-free. Media and conference technology is installed in every meeting room. The venue also lists special lighting effects, simultaneous interpreting and double projection as options.
The Akademie team supports organizers with registration, technology, hotel bookings, catering, a supporting program and evaluation. It can also help with the concept and the choice of methods and digital tools, with moderation and stage coaching, and with invitations, an event motif and presentations. Organizers who prefer to run the day themselves can do that too.
Rooms and capacities
The Large Hall (Großer Saal) covers 667 m² on the second floor, with a 6 m ceiling and a parquet floor. It seats 500 in rows or 300 in parliament style. It has daylight and blackout, a control room, a stage with step-free access, induction loops for hearing aids and lighting scenarios. A terrace opens directly from the hall and holds up to 200 people. The Small Hall and Lounge (186 m²) takes 100 in rows or 70 in parliament style.
Workshop rooms 1 to 3 measure 89 to 97 m² and seat 80 in rows. Rooms 4a and 4b can be used separately (about 49 m² each, 39 and 40 seats in rows) or combined (78 seats). Workshop rooms 5 to 9 seat between 48 and 154 in rows, and room 9 is the largest at 156 m². A ground-floor exhibition area of 835 m² and a roof terrace give space for displays and breaks.
House 10, the Akademiehotel building, adds an auditorium of about 300 m² for up to 200 people (192 in rows, 106 in parliament style, 40 in U-shape). Four small meeting rooms there, named Hennef, Bonn, Bad Hersfeld and Dresden, measure 30 to 50 m².
Accommodation
The Akademiehotel Dresden has 266 rooms, including single, double, family and step-free rooms. Guests can eat at the buffet restaurant, the Bistro arte, the sports bar or the Café Lounge. The hotel also lists sports facilities and a wellness area.
Catering
Catering is arranged with partner companies and ranges from snack buffets to gala dinners.
History and setting
The campus lies directly at the Dresdner Heide, the largest nature recreation area of the city, so parts of an event can move outdoors. The Akademie describes the site as a place where tradition and modern architecture meet.
Getting there
The hotel states that public transport links it to the city center. Roadworks on Königsbrücker Straße affect access at the moment, and the Akademie keeps a directions page up to date. Check it before your event dates.
