Business Center

With variable meeting and conference room concepts, every event is customized. For your classic conferences or interactive meetings, the location size, seating and state-of-the-art technical equipment are precisely adapted. In-house facilitators and coaches are also happy to assist you with digital or hybrid formats.

Experience Center

Discover the world of GS1 standards in a unique environment – in a playful way and with all your senses. Interactive stations and exciting exhibits make complex topics tangible and bring them to life – without any guidance.

Innovation Space

The former Innovation Center is becoming the Innovation Space – an inspiring area that combines three elements: the Innovation Center, the Innovation Studio (formerly the “London” room), and the Innovation Lounge.

The Innovation Studio offers an environment that promotes creativity: writable walls, fresh colors, and modern flooring create the ideal setting for workshops, training sessions, and meetings. This is where ideas are born and become visible – in a space that inspires and opens the mind.

As part of the new Innovation Space, the rooms can be booked flexibly – individually or as a package, depending on your needs. Design your next event in an environment that brings innovation to life and redefines collaboration.

The GS1 Germany Knowledge Center is optimally accessible by all means of transport. Bus, subway and S-Bahn stops are within walking distance and there is ample parking in the courtyard.
