Eastern Switzerland as a stage for new event ideas

Anyone planning meetings, incentives or corporate events will find a varied selection of locations and experiences in Eastern Switzerland and neighbouring Liechtenstein. The Inspiration Market brings these possibilities together in one place and creates space for personal conversations with the people behind the offerings.

Together with the St.Gallen Convention Bureau, FC St.Gallen 1879 and Liechtenstein Marketing, Celebrationpoint shows how diversely events can be staged in the region. The football stadium serves not only as a backdrop, but as an event location in its own right with surprising perspectives.

A tour in three teams

After arrival from 4.00 pm, the official programme begins at 4.30 pm in the stand. Ewa Ming, founder and managing director of Celebrationpoint, and Matthias Hüppi, president of FC St.Gallen 1879, welcome the guests. A performance with traditional cowbells opens the afternoon.

The teams «Home», «Away» and «Supporters» then go through three interactive experience stations run by the main partners. Participants discover the Berit Sitterstadion as a conference and event venue, get to know offerings from St.Gallen and Liechtenstein, and receive concrete inspiration for meetings, incentives and corporate events. From 6.30 pm, the apéro riche offers an opportunity to deepen conversations with exhibitors and other planners.

14 exhibitors from the region

A total of 14 exhibitors are showcasing just how diverse the planning of meetings, incentives and corporate events can be in Eastern Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Taking part are the St.Gallen Convention Bureau, FC St.Gallen 1879, Liechtenstein Marketing, Klangwelt Toggenburg, Olma Messen St.Gallen, Abenteuer-Zeitreisen TOPAZ GmbH, Ospelt Hotel Anstalt, Hotel kommod, Bad Horn Hotel & Spa, Bühler Energy Center, Haus Gutenberg, Radisson Blu Hotel St.Gallen, Säntis – der Berg and SGR Schweizer Gruppenreisen GmbH.

Added value for event planners

The event is more than a classic presentation: planners compare destinations, locations, hotels and supporting programmes in direct conversation. This allows capacities, travel arrangements, hospitality ideas and potential partners for their own events to be assessed at an early stage.

The combination of site inspection and networking is particularly valuable. Anyone planning a seminar, conference, incentive or customer event in the region can make concrete contacts and get to know several offerings from Eastern Switzerland and Liechtenstein in a single afternoon.

Optional kick-off at Olma Messen

Convention and event planners can start as early as 1.30 pm. The optional pre-programme at Olma Messen St.Gallen includes a site inspection during PreXcon and insights into the St.Galler Kantonalbank Hall and Hall 9. This programme item ends at 3.30 pm; afterwards, the group continues on to the Berit Sitterstadion.

EventButler is media partner

EventButler supports the Inspiration Market as a media partner. We look forward to an afternoon where new ideas, regional hosts and personal encounters take centre stage. Participation is free for event planners; early registration is recommended, as the number of places is limited.
