Congress, training event, and a casual get-together - when an event is supposed to fulfil several purposes, flexibility is what counts. This holds true for the event organizer as well as for the venue. Judy Steinbatz, marketing manager of 'Kosmos', the Austrian manufacturer of sun protection devices, can tell you a thing or two about this challenge. And if, in addition, you want to offer your guests the opportunity to participate in incentives after the event, you will soon reach the point where you have to make compromises - normally. 'The Ferry Porsche Congress Center and Zell am See were absolutely perfect for our event', Judy Steinbatz says enthusiastically. 'From the journey and the accommodation in local hotels to the house itself with its great technical equipment - everything was absolutely superb.'

'In order to impress our guests, we wanted to come up with an extraordinary programme', says the marketing manager. And the specialized dealers who had been invited to the event by Kosmos will not hesitate a moment to agree that this was the case. On 24th and 25th April 240 guests were informed about the latest trends, participated in training sessions and motivation seminars. 'An amazing advantage was that the building is so flexible. And the in-house catering service can be highly recommended.' At an excursion to Areitalm inn, the guests had the opportunity to get to know each other as well as the unique mountain scenery of Zell am See. 'The entire event was a true success with our guests - not least because of the uncountable leisure time activities in Zell am See', Steinbatz summarizes proudly. After all, happy guests are the greatest reward for driven event organizers…
