Seminars and company events
The Arena on the lower level is the plenary room. It covers about 520 square meters with a ceiling above eight meters, a large stage, a fixed bar and a central control position. Seating runs to about 380 in theatre rows, 220 in parliamentary layout, 160 in blocks and 200 in fishbowl format.

On the upper level, the Windows Lounge covers 93 square meters with a glass front and daylight, suited to workshops or catering with a view down into the Arena. The Galerie covers about 300 square meters for receptions, exhibitions and catering. Both levels can run in parallel, for example catering in the Galerie during a plenary below.
