Seminars and company events

In the capacity table it takes 160 in theatre and 40 in a U-shape. The Salle Tolosan, with exposed Toulouse brick, takes 180 in theatre and suits conferences, exhibitions and gala dinners. Every room has a screen, video projection and fiber Wi-Fi. A small interview set or micro-conference stage can be arranged on request, and a personalized mobile app gives participants the practical information for the day.
Guests can arrive by barge along the canal and land at the Terrasse Canal. Free private parking holds 80 cars. Sound and lighting can be installed outdoors, and the venue has no immediate neighbors, which helps for music, open-air screenings and fireworks.

A wet-weather fallback is planned, brunch the next day is possible, and a children's play and rest area is set up during evening events. Security staff stay on site for the whole event.
