The Station is an excellent place to organize a seminar and many of our guests remark about how the Station is an ideal environment for networking and getting to know colleagues. When holding in a meeting in an urban environment, participants often lose track of one another in the evenings and break times as they go their separate ways. This does not happen at the station where everyone eats and lodges in the same location. On top of that LBS offers a beautiful lakeside environment with excellent facilities for groups up to 120 people.

With our many years of experience we can also help and give advice on how to organize a successful meeting! Also ask about the possibility to have an introduction to the Station for your seminar group.
