An evening reception after a congress day

An evening after the fair in Berlin: a reception, and one arrival wave

The post-fair evening starts when the fair, somewhere else, is already shut. One wave arrives, then people stand: hall up to about 600 or terrace up to about 500. We do not build exhibitor floors that evening. Larger than the hall is only the open air, as its own format.

In short

An evening after the fair in Berlin is the reception after the fair: one arrival wave, then a standing hour, not a second day of the fair. Cantinerie stands in Gesundbrunnen, in Mitte. The main hall holds about 400 seated and about 600 standing. The terrace holds about 500. Open air runs to about 5,000 people on up to 5,000 square metres. The rooms are not added.

Place

Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25 in Gesundbrunnen, Berlin-Mitte

The post-fair evening is a reception in Gesundbrunnen, not a continuation of the fair hall. The fair was somewhere else. Here is building 17. Wedding is the former borough name and a wayfinding cue, not the borough of the address. The borough is Mitte, the locality is Gesundbrunnen, Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25.

The address is Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25, 13355 Berlin, building 17, on the ground floor. The borough is Mitte and the locality is Gesundbrunnen. S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. From Hauptbahnhof the journey by train and on foot is about 30 minutes. Wedding is the former borough name and a wayfinding cue, not the borough of the address. U8 Voltastraße and Gesundbrunnen station are close. We do not invent minutes for them.

Parking on the grounds carries the build. It does not replace the footpath when many people arrive in the same minute. The invitation names the station. The walk-through starts at the gate, not at a photograph of the room.

Dates for this format are checked on the corporate event page.

Number

Post-fair evening in Gesundbrunnen: the figure from the walk-through

The wave fits in the main hall up to about 600 standing or on the terrace up to about 500. More than that needs the open air on the AEG grounds and another drawing. For the post-fair evening the seated ceiling of the main hall stays at about 400, on more than 600 square metres. A stage, a dance floor or an aisle lowers that guide. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance.

We do not build exhibitor floors and hall plans of a fair on this evening. That was the day before, in another place. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 at banquet tables. It is not added to the post-fair evening. An arrival there is another chapter.

Rooms

Main hall, Philosophia and terrace are not added together

Food from stations, not fair stands. The footpath back to Humboldthain still has to work at the end, so the evening has a time. The rooms are not added for the post-fair evening. Main hall, terrace, Philosophia and open air keep their own figures, even when a photograph makes them look like one house.

The main hall is more than 600 square metres and holds about 400 guests seated and about 600 standing. About 600 is the standing hour, not a row of chairs. A row or a parliament layout in the main hall is on request. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 for a banquet. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 200 in a row and about 100 at banquet tables.

On the AEG grounds, open air runs to about 5,000 people across up to 5,000 square metres. Those figures are not added together. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance. Add the rooms and you are describing a house we do not let.

Running order

Running order for Post-fair evening on the AEG grounds

The invitation names the station and the minute the wave arrives. Cloakroom and bar are ready before the first group sees the gate. After that, short speeches and a clear end. Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. A second trade crossing the courtyard is not the plan. The rehearsal sits before the gate opens.

Stations that can take a wave, not a banquet that waits for latecomers. The kitchen is the house kitchen. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 100 at banquet tables and about 200 in a row. For the post-fair evening it is its own room or the quiet corner for production, not an extra.

Weather

Rain and Post-fair evening: terrace, hall, AEG grounds

If the wave arrives wet, the hall is the place, not the terrace plus the hall. The number has to fit in one room. About 600 applies only as a standing hour. It is not a row of chairs. A row or a parliament layout in the main hall is on request and does not replace the format named here.

Food from stations, not fair stands. The footpath back to Humboldthain still has to work at the end, so the evening has a time. On the AEG grounds, open air runs to about 5,000 people across up to 5,000 square metres. That is its own format. It is not a silent cushion under the post-fair evening.

Production

Kitchen and sound for Post-fair evening on the AEG grounds

Stations that can take a wave, not a banquet that waits for latecomers. The kitchen is the house kitchen. Building 17 is on the ground floor and is fully accessible. S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. From Hauptbahnhof the journey by train and on foot is about 30 minutes. Guests check railway lifts themselves.

Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. A second trade crossing the courtyard is not the plan. The rehearsal sits before the gate opens. Ground-level delivery keeps the build short. Philosophia can stay with production and out of the guest count.

One producer holds the kitchen and the running order. Guests see the room this format actually needs. Radios stay behind the line from the walk-through.

Arrival

Building 17, step-free, ten minutes from Humboldthain

A wave from a fair is denser than an ordinary evening. The invitation staggers it, or the street in front of building 17 fills up. Parking on the grounds carries the build. It does not replace the footpath when many people arrive in the same minute. The invitation names the station.

Building 17 is on the ground floor. The entrance is step-free and the venue is fully accessible. Wheelchair routes come off the raw chair count. Guests check railway lifts themselves. We do not promise the state of a lift that evening.

Walk-through

Walk-through in Gesundbrunnen for Post-fair evening

The post-fair evening is a reception in Gesundbrunnen, not a continuation of the fair hall. The fair was somewhere else. Here is building 17. Wheelchair routes come off the raw chair count. Ground-level delivery keeps the build short. The open kitchen of the house stays the kitchen.

The invitation names the station and the minute the wave arrives. Cloakroom and bar are ready before the first group sees the gate. After that, short speeches and a clear end. The rooms are not added for the post-fair evening. Main hall, terrace, Philosophia and open air keep their own figures, even when a photograph makes them look like one house.

We do not build exhibitor floors and hall plans of a fair on this evening. That was the day before, in another place. Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. A second trade crossing the courtyard is not the plan. The rehearsal sits before the gate opens.

Checklist

No fair stands

Before you enquire

03Do you build fair stands?+

We do not build exhibitor floors and hall plans of a fair on this evening. That was the day before, in another place.

05Why does the evening have a closing time?+

The post-fair evening is a reception in Gesundbrunnen, not a continuation of the fair hall. The fair was somewhere else. Here is building 17.
