Sparkassen-Arena Hildesheim, listed in your sources as Volksbank-Arena, hosts company events from a reception in the foyer to a banquet for 576 guests or a presentation before more than 2,400 seated attendees. The multipurpose hall at Pappelallee 1 in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony, has a 1,100 square meter floor, a 400 square meter VIP lounge and 1,500 square meters of meeting space.
Seminars and company events
The arena sells company parties, product presentations and anniversaries. Its own examples include a beach area built on the floor, simple parliamentary seating and a Christmas party. The stands can be curtained off or left visible, depending on the mood you want. A red carpet to the entrance and a reception in the glazed foyer are offered as options.
Stage, lighting and sound are set up to the organiser's brief. The operator, Stadt- und Sporthallen GmbH Hildesheim, can also supply the security staff for entry control and hall supervision on request. Parliamentary, row and banquet layouts depend on the stage you choose, so ask for a plan with your headcount.

History and setting
The hall was modernized in 2007, when the technical systems were renewed and fire protection measures were carried out. It uses a self-supporting roof structure without view-blocking beams, and its rigging system makes lighting, sound and video quick to install. It is mainly a concert and sports venue, which also hosts school proms, markets and trade fairs. Company events fit around that calendar.
Getting there
The arena is at Pappelallee 1, 31137 Hildesheim, and can be reached by bus, train, car or on foot. The site mentions about 100 own parking spaces on its company events page and about 200 on its concerts page, so confirm the number for your date.
