Open-air corporate events - successful events in the open air

Celebrate outdoors, experience things together and leave the daily work routine behind for a moment - open-air company events are the perfect way to recharge your batteries and reconnect with your team. To make your open-air event a complete success, you need more than just good weather: the choice of location and a clever plan B are crucial. In this article, you will find out what you should pay attention to so that your outdoor event remains unforgettable - no matter what the sky does.

An outdoor corporate event is more than just a change of scenery – it opens up space for fresh perspectives, creative conversations, and stronger team bonding. To ensure your open-air event is a success, choosing the right location is key. It should suit the occasion, offer enough space, be easily accessible, and ideally provide infrastructure for catering, technology, or furnishings.

Switzerland offers a wide range of inspiring outdoor venues – from rural to urban, from cozy to exclusive. What’s important is that the surroundings reflect your company’s character and offer your guests a cohesive and memorable experience.

Popular types of outdoor locations:

• Gardens and vineyards: Idyllic, close to nature, and perfect for relaxed summer evenings.

• Rooftop terraces or courtyards: Ideal for city-based companies looking to combine urban flair with privacy.

• Waterfront or scenic spots: Whether it's a lake, river, or mountain panorama – the view creates lasting memories.

• Outdoor areas with infrastructure: Locations that already offer tents, technical equipment, or outdoor furniture can save time and costs.

When choosing a venue, also consider ample parking, good access to public transportation, and – not to be forgotten – quiet hours or permits, especially if music or longer programs are planned.
