LENDHAFEN is a flexible event room of about 160 m2 in the middle of Graz, at Lendkai 17. The City of Graz business office runs it as a space for the new economy. Organisers book it as a meeting point, a workshop space or a stage, for up to 90 people. It is certified as a Green Location with the Austrian Ecolabel since June 2025.
Seminars and company events
The room is designed for business events. The official site lists public events on new work, new leadership and sustainability, closed events for exchange, networking, knowledge transfer or cooperation between companies and organisations, and presentations of new ideas, products or services. Commercial events, events without a direct business link and internal meetings of an organisation can also book the room, at the standard rate.
The room is handed over for self-managed use. You get it with basic equipment and a lot of free space, and what you set up you take down again. The room must be left empty and clean. The restaurant Speis, a partner in the building, can handle set-up and take-down for a small fee.
All furniture is on wheels or rollers, so the room can be reorganized quickly for different formats. Every wall can be written on, which the venue calls the largest whiteboard in Graz. The official site advises visiting the room and its technical limits well before your first use.
Rooms and capacities
The event room measures about 160 m2 and holds at most 90 people. An outdoor area of about 100 m2, 16 m by 6 m, is attached. Technical equipment includes a central HDMI connection to the audio and video system, two 65-inch digital flip charts that also work as wireless screens, extra audio sources through a mini-jack cable or Bluetooth, free wifi and an optional symmetrical broadband line for a fee. Deliveries can arrive over the forecourt between 5 and 10 a.m. The room is barrier-free.
Catering
The venue recommends Speis, its cooperation partner in the house. Both the restaurant and its catering business hold the Austrian Ecolabel as Green Restaurant and Green Caterer, and they favor regional and seasonal produce. Catering requests go to catering@speisamlend.at.
