CfL, Center for Ledelse, rents conference, training and meeting rooms in Copenhagen for courses, seminars, conferences, information meetings and general assemblies. The largest hall seats 210 people in cinema layout, and eleven smaller rooms cover groups from 8 to 60. The rooms are in the former customs house, called Toldboden, at Folke Bernadottes Allé 45 in the Østerbro district.
Seminars and company events
CfL is a leadership organisation owned by more than 500 Danish companies and public bodies. It runs its own courses and networks in the building, and it also lets its rooms to outside organisers. The website names courses, conferences, seminars, information meetings, general assemblies and similar events, for daytime or evening programmes. CfL puts the programme together with the organiser, so a one-room seminar and a full conference day are handled the same way.
Three ready-made formats cover most requests. The full-day meeting includes the room, a morning buffet, lunch, afternoon coffee with cake, and coffee, tea, water, lemonade and fruit throughout the day. The morning meeting and the afternoon meeting keep the lunch and one of the two other meals, and drop the rest. Reception closes at 5 p.m., and at 4 p.m. on Fridays. If your session runs later, tell the team before the event starts.
Rooms and capacities
The main room is Store Vejerbod, a renovated conference hall with AV equipment. A technician is available for conferences held there. It takes 210 people in cinema layout, 140 at cabaret islands, 80 at school tables and 50 in a U-shape. CfL can also stream a session live, so that people who cannot travel follow it online.
The other rooms are named after the customs house. Perron 7 holds 60 in cinema layout and 24 in a U-shape. Perron 1 holds 42 in cinema layout and 22 in a U-shape. Perron 2 holds 30, Perron 4 holds 25 and Perron 3 holds 23 in cinema layout. Toldbetjenten and Toldinspektøren each hold 25 in cinema layout and 13 in a U-shape. Perron 5 is a meeting table for 10. The three tower rooms, Tårn 2, Tårn 3 and Tårn 4, seat 8 each. Virtual meetings on Teams or Zoom are possible with your own account.
Catering
Meals come with the meeting formats described above. The building has lounge areas and a restaurant next to the conference rooms, and CfL arranges both daytime and evening events. Ask the conference coordinator for evening menus, since the site does not list them.
History and setting
Toldboden is the historic old customs house in the centre of Copenhagen. The rooms are modern, yet they keep traces of the building's past, which gives the house a rustic feel. Store Vejerbod was renovated with its old details kept. The neighbourhood suits breaks outdoors: Kastellet park and the Langelinie harbour promenade are close, and the Little Mermaid is nearby. CfL also rents offices for 2 to 16 people in the same building.
Getting there
Østerport station is a five-minute walk from CfL. It is served by S-trains, regional trains, the metro and several bus lines. For drivers, the house has 65 parking spaces, and guests of the house pay a reduced rate.
