Bern is not only a popular conference venue because of its easy accessibility and its central location on the linguistic border – the canton also leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to seminar infrastructure. In the Swiss capital you can expect to find such state-of-the-art event and conference centres as the Kursaal, the Bernexpo, the Stade of Wankdorf and the PostFinance Arena. Even outside the city, Bern has much to be proud of: there is surely no more tried-and-tested event location than the Kursaal in Interlaken. If you prefer something small, but top quality and ultra-modern, you will be delighted with the KK Thun – and there you also have the lake right in front of the door.
