Walter Ivry-sur-Seine is a coworking building at the edge of Paris that opens its event spaces for private hire: a conference space for up to 100 people, a reception room for 100, a production space for up to 60 and meeting rooms for up to 35. It suits seminars, product launches, workshops, afterwork evenings and team-building days for companies in southeast Paris and the inner suburbs. The venue is in the Immeuble Yuri, 53 boulevard du Colonel Fabien, in Ivry-sur-Seine.
Seminars and company events
Walter describes its event spaces as private, versatile and flexible, and lists the formats it hosts: breakfast, lunch, afterwork and cocktail receptions, team meetings and brainstorming sessions, seminars, workshops, conferences, product launches, team building, filming and photo shoots. A workplace manager follows each project and helps define the needs before the event.
The conference space is the main room for business programs. It holds up to 100 people and comes with a video-conference screen, a connected paperboard, a wireless audio and microphone system and direct access to the rooftop. That last point helps organisers who want to split a day between plenary sessions inside and breaks or drinks outdoors.
The building covers 3,300 square meters and also houses offices and shared work areas, so an event takes place in a working environment rather than a hotel ballroom. It fits a practical one-day seminar or a launch. A residential seminar needs a separate hotel, as the site does not mention bedrooms.
Rooms and capacities
The official site gives these figures. The conference space takes up to 100 people. The reception room takes 100 people and is furnished, with refrigerators and a coffee machine, which makes it practical for cocktails and standing receptions. The production and filming space holds up to 60 people, with technical and logistical support. The meeting rooms welcome up to 35 people in several layouts, with a screen, video-conference and IT equipment and a connected paperboard.
Six named meeting rooms serve smaller groups. Elinor Ostrom takes up to 8 people, Simone Veil up to 12, Eugène Freyssinet up to 6, Yvonne Farell up to 4 and Odile Decq up to 8. Marion Mahony Griffin is the largest, for 20 to 50 people, with a screen, a whiteboard and a Quattropod. It can serve as a breakout room for a workshop track that runs beside a plenary session.
The rooftop is a planted terrace with an open view. The site does not state how many guests it holds, so ask for its capacity when you request a quote.
Catering
Walter lists a caterer among the services available for an event. The same list includes a welcome area and cloakroom, personalized signage, partner photographers and videographers, guest transport and transfers, and furniture rental with scenography. The site does not name the caterer or say whether you may bring your own, so confirm this with the team before you plan the menu.
Getting there
Walter Ivry stands in Ivry Confluences, a district in renewal on the border of Paris's 13th arrondissement. The site describes it as easy to reach by public transport and by car. Check the exact metro, RER and tram options with the team when you request a visit, since the workplace manager offers tours of the premises.
