La Station can host a meeting of 5, a training day of 30, a conference of 50 or an evening event of up to 200 people. It offers six bookable rooms, from a small interview room to a 300 m² hall. La Station is the innovation and coworking centre of Saint-Omer, set in the town's railway station on place du 8 mai 1945.
Seminars and company events
The centre sells meeting rooms by the half day, day or evening, and builds seminars, conventions and client events to order. The events team can arrange lunch trays or cocktails, projection equipment, fab lab workshops and team-building sessions. All rooms have wired and wifi internet, a screen and a paperboard, and video-conferencing equipment can be added on request.
The fab lab is the distinctive part of the offer. A company can pair a working session with a hands-on workshop in the digital fabrication space, or use it for a prototyping day with an innovation team. The coworking floor, shared offices and an incubator make the building a working place during the day, which suits a training course or a partners' meeting.
Rooms and capacities
Le Cube seats 5 and is set for short meetings and interviews. La Marquise takes 8 for working sessions and creative meetings. La Passerelle, fully glazed and light, takes 12 around a round table and suits training, meetings and video calls. Le Forum takes 30 for an assembly, a workshop or a seminar; it sits in the middle of the coworking space and is available from 6 pm. The conference space takes 30 to 50 people, has writable walls for collective work, and can be fitted out to the brief.
La Halle is the largest space, with more than 300 m² usable. It is rented for private evening events of up to 200 guests, and can also be set up for public events such as trade fairs, conventions, conferences and symposiums.
Catering
There is no restaurant listed on site. For events, the team arranges lunch trays or cocktail receptions with the organiser, as part of a tailor-made package.
History and setting
La Station was launched by the CAPSO, the urban community of the Pays de Saint-Omer, to support innovation and business creation in the area. Since January 1, 2026, the company Interfaces manages and runs the centre. Its tagline sums up the place: a workspace for innovation with a railway station inside. The centre also runs local branches in Thérouanne, Fauquembergues, Eperlecques, Lumbres and Aire-sur-la-Lys.
The programme mixes events for the public, a young entrepreneurs' club, podcasts and training partnerships with the CNAM and a connected campus. For an outside organiser, this means technical staff on site and a team used to running workshops and talks.
Getting there
La Station shares its building with Saint-Omer railway station, so participants can arrive by train and walk straight into the meeting, without a taxi or shuttle. Groups coming by car should plan parking in town, as none is listed on the site. The address is place du 8 mai 1945, 62500 Saint-Omer.
