FiDUS Business Solutions rents nine conference, seminar and coaching rooms for groups of 2 to 80 people. The rooms sit on the third floor of a business center in Ratingen Ost, a short drive from Düsseldorf Airport, and can be booked by the hour, the day or the week. Reception, conference service and catering are handled on site.
Seminars and company events
The center has been run by its owners since 2007. Sixty offices occupy the other floors, and the third floor is reserved for meetings, training sessions and seminars. This makes the building a practical base for a one-day workshop, a coaching session, a board meeting or a multi-day training course for a regional team.
Every room has daylight, carpet, ceiling cooling and radiators. The ceiling lighting is adjustable, and one specially smoothed wall can be used as a projection surface. Wi-Fi and a fibre connection are available in each room. Equipment includes a TV, a projector, a whiteboard, a flipchart and a pin board. Seating can be arranged in U-shape, theatre or conference style.
Rooms and capacities
The site lists the rooms by name and floor area. Peter und Paul is the largest at 100 m² and is also offered in a parliamentary layout. Paul measures about 60 m², Haus zum Haus about 50 m² and Peter 40 m². Cromford covers about 36 m², Trinsenturm about 28 m², Dicke Turm about 25 m² and Kornsturm about 20 m².
Across the nine rooms the center states a capacity of 2 to 80 people. The smaller rooms suit coaching sessions and short meetings, while the larger ones take a full seminar group. Because the rooms can be rented flexibly, a day can be split between a plenary in the biggest room and breakout sessions in the smaller ones.
Catering
A catering service is available through the center, and meeting drinks can be added to a booking. The central reception desk on the ground floor greets participants. A secretariat service runs from 8:00 to 18:00, and the conference service can copy documents and register participants on arrival.
Getting there
The center is at Josef-Schappe-Straße 21 in Ratingen Ost. The site says an S-Bahn station is opposite the building and that Düsseldorf Airport is about 15 minutes away by car. Public parking is available nearby. The same operator also offers virtual office and telephone services, which can be useful for organisers who need a local address or phone line for a multi-day project.
