More about the Markhof

MARKHOF is home to coworking spaces, workshops and studios, as well as a lively event and seminar centre, where everything from small meetings to large festivals is possible. Seminars, workshops, meditation, music, dance and cooking classes are all available.

The conference will be held in the following spaces:

"Salon" space

A magnificent 125 m² SALON space for workshops, retreats, meetings, conferences or exhibitions. With its high, bright rooms and captivating architecture, it offers an exceptional setting for every event.

"Plenum" space

The PLENUM is high, large, bright and particularly attractive thanks to the structure of the old factory that was retained during the renovation, including the extremely high ceiling and large windows. It is a multi-purpose space: from conferences, film screenings and performances to assemblies and large meetings, there is room for everything.

"Library" space

The LIBRARY is the ideal place for meetings and workshops in a friendly yet concentrated atmosphere. Thanks to its immediate vicinity, it can also be used in combination with the plenary room or the lounge.
