The best seminar locations in Ulm

City center and surroundings

Ulm is known for its historic old town and offers many easily accessible and attractive seminar locations in the city center. We particularly recommend conference rooms in hotels or public buildings, which impress with their central location and high level of professionalism. Here are some specific suggestions:

• Maritim Hotel Ulm: This centrally located hotel directly on the Danube offers first-class facilities for seminars and conferences. With rooms that can accommodate up to 1,500 people and state-of-the-art technology, it is suitable for both small workshops and large conferences. Participants benefit from the central location and the option of staying overnight directly at the hotel – ideal for events lasting several days.
• PLAZA Premium Parkhotel Neu-Ulm: This hotel is located directly opposite Ulm, on the other side of the Danube, and offers modern conference rooms in peaceful, green surroundings. It has flexible conference rooms that can be adapted to any group size and offers overnight accommodation for longer seminars. During breaks, a roof terrace invites you to enjoy relaxed discussions with a view of the Danube.
• Ulmer Stadthaus: Right next to Ulm Minster, in the middle of the old town, the Stadthaus offers an extraordinary location with a mix of modernity and history. The light-flooded rooms are particularly suitable for small to medium-sized groups. The view of the cathedral gives the event a special flair.

OrangeCampus – sporting inspiration and modernity

The OrangeCampus, Ratiopharm Ulm’s ultra-modern conference center, is a special venue in Ulm. The location exudes dynamism and motivation – ideal for holding seminars in an inspiring environment. The OrangeCampus offers space for up to 230 people and has first-class technical equipment. Particularly exciting: the sporting atmosphere due to the close connection to the professional basketball team Ratiopharm Ulm.

This location is not only suitable for traditional seminars, but also for workshops where a sporting environment serves as motivation and inspiration. The modern rooms can be flexibly arranged so that both large conferences and smaller group events are possible.

Fischerviertel – historic flair for creative seminars

For smaller groups who appreciate a special atmosphere, the Fischerviertel in Ulm is the perfect place. Here you will find historic buildings with lots of charm that are ideal for creative seminars and workshops. The picturesque half-timbered houses and narrow alleyways invite you to explore the city after a productive seminar day and soak up the relaxed atmosphere.

• Hotel Schiefes Haus: This unique, historic hotel in the heart of the fishermen’s quarter offers a special atmosphere for small seminars. With space for up to 10 people, it is ideal for workshops and creative sessions in an environment that tells stories and inspires at the same time.

The quiet location is perfect for seminars where relaxation and concentration are paramount.

Important criteria when choosing the right location

The perfect location depends on many factors. To ensure that your seminar is a complete success, you should consider the following points when planning:

• Size and equipment: The rooms must be suitable for the number of participants and have the necessary technology. Make sure you have a projector, microphones, fast WLAN and flexible seating options.
• Accessibility: Good accessibility is crucial. The location should be easily accessible by public transport or offer sufficient parking facilities. Ulm is well connected, but the exact location of the venue can still make all the difference.
• Catering options: Good catering is a must. Whether it’s small snacks during breaks or a full lunch, make sure your seminar location offers catering that caters to the needs of the participants.

Creative team event ideas to liven up the seminar

To loosen up your seminar and promote team spirit, you should plan creative team events. Such activities get your participants moving and create space for informal discussions and collaboration. Here are some specific suggestions:

Outdoor activities: Exercise and fresh air

• Guided tour of Ulm: A guided tour through the old town or the picturesque fishermen’s quarter is a great way to clear your head after an intensive seminar day. Ulm’s history and architecture offer exciting topics and make the city tour a perfect combination of relaxation and team building.

Culinary events: Cook and enjoy together

• Cooking course in a team: A joint cooking course is a creative way to strengthen team spirit. In a relaxed atmosphere, your participants prepare a multi-course meal under the guidance of a professional chef and can enjoy informal conversation while eating together. Ulm offers several cooking schools that specialize in team events and can put together individual menus for your group.

Sporting challenges: Basketball for team spirit

• Basketball team event at the OrangeCampus: Take advantage of Ulm’s special connection to basketball! In the OrangeCampus sports arena, you can get active as a team on the basketball court. Whether you are learning the sport together or strengthening your team spirit in casual games – basketball is a great way to promote teamwork and communication in a fun way. Afterwards, you can even visit a Bundesliga game of Ratiopharm Ulm to round off the event with a sporting highlight.

Basketball not only promotes team spirit, but also strengthens coordination and cooperation – perfect conditions for strengthening a sense of community.
