Frequently asked questions about seminars

How big should a seminar group be?

For interactive seminars with exercises and discussion, groups of about 12 to 20 people have proven effective, while lectures also work with larger groups. The bigger the group, the more important breakout rooms and a flexible room setup become. State the group size in your enquiry so that suitable seminar rooms can be suggested.

What room equipment supports learning in a seminar?

Good seminar rooms have daylight, good ventilation, flexible furniture, wall space for flipcharts or pinboards and room for group work. A projector or screen and stable Wi-Fi are part of the basic equipment. Ask about break areas and breakout options, as they often decide the quality of a multi-day seminar.

Seminar house or seminar hotel: which suits my seminar?

A seminar house is often in a quieter location and more geared towards learning and workshop formats. A seminar hotel or conference hotel usually offers several rooms, hotel service and professional technical equipment. Which option fits depends on group size, format and the atmosphere you want. For mandatory training or certifications, read more under training.

How far in advance should I book a seminar?

For multi-day seminars with an overnight stay, a lead time of two to four months is advisable, and more in high season. One-day trainings are often possible at shorter notice. If you run seminars regularly, enquire about dates for the whole year early on.

What is included in a seminar package?

Room hire, basic technical equipment, refreshments during breaks, lunch and drinks are usually included. Accommodation is often offered separately or as an all-inclusive package, and many seminar hotels also offer full board for multi-day formats. Check carefully what is included in the offer before you compare prices.
