A workshop venue in Berlin, with work tables in Philosophia

Cases of paper and kit use the same door as the people. Building 17, Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25, 13355 Berlin, ground floor. The borough is Mitte, the locality Gesundbrunnen. S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. From Hauptbahnhof, train and foot take about 30 minutes. Wedding is the former borough name, not the borough.

U8 Voltastraße and Gesundbrunnen station are nearby. We name no walking time for them. Parking carries the van with the materials. It does not replace the footpath when several hundred people arrive in the same minute. A small group has a short walk.

The walk-through starts at a table, not at a stage. We put a sheet of paper down and see whether elbows meet. If they meet, the count is too high, before power is even discussed.

Work at tables is set out on the meetings page.

Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 100 at banquet tables. That is a guide for work tables, not a promise. Paper on the top can lower the number, because there is no room left to write. About 200 in a row would be an audience. A workshop writes. It does not only sit.

If Philosophia is not enough, the main hall, more than 600 square metres, becomes one plenary. Seated, about 400 guests is the guide, less the floor the materials take. About 600 standing is not a work table. About 600 is the standing reception, not a row of chairs.

A row or a parliament layout in the main hall is on request only, and a workshop asks for tables. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance. Philosophia and the hall are not added. We do not cut six rooms out of one hall.

The running order is work, not a talk with breaks. A short opening, then hands are on the paper. Blocks for writing, lunch, then the same table or a planned clear. What happens to the sheets is fixed before the day starts.

Power belongs on the tables, not in a far corner with a cable across the route. The build decides how the power arrives. We do not promise a count of sockets. The screen stays a tool. A day of slides with no table is a talk.

Lunch either clears the tables or it leaves them. Both are possible, and only one is in the plan. A hot tray on the paper is a fault in the clock, not a kindness. The sheets stay in the room through the break.

The work stays indoors. The terrace, about 400 square metres, can hold the break, about 500 standing, and only in settled weather. Paper and power stay in the room. About 300 at a banquet out there is not a second work group. Rain does not move the tables.

If it rains, the materials stay in Philosophia or in the main hall. We do not lay a second ring of tables outside. Open air for about 5,000 people across up to 5,000 square metres is not a workshop and applies only outdoors on the AEG grounds. Daylight stays on the work table.

Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. One producer holds power, food and sound together, so a hot tray does not land on a cable. A second firm for the power is not a second producer beside the house. Sound stays low while people write.

Delivery is at ground level in the morning, before the sheets are on the tables. The van leaves the step-free route clear. Cables do not cross the aisle. Cases of paper use that same entrance. Radios stay behind the line from the walk-through.

The group sees tables, paper and power. It does not see a second desk. Food and the technical build come from one hand.

We do not have six workshops in one room. If the group needs the main hall, it is one plenary with tables, not a split. Chair rows toward a stage are refused for this day. A row would be a talk, not this work.

About 100 at a banquet is the guide, and paper can lower it. About 200 in a row in Philosophia is not a work table. Hall, terrace and Philosophia are not added. We publish no fixed row count for the main hall. Five hundred set places leave this hall.

Open air for about 5,000 people across up to 5,000 square metres is not a table and applies only outdoors. No firm is named here. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance. Logos elsewhere are not a place count.

Building 17 is on the ground floor. The entrance is step-free and the venue is fully accessible. A crate and a wheelchair use the same route. Width at the table comes off the raw place count. On the walk-through you say which aisle must stay clear for materials.

S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. U8 Voltastraße and Gesundbrunnen station are nearby. Guests check railway lifts themselves. We promise no lift. Parking is the build. If several hundred arrive in the same minute, the footpath carries them. The invitation names the station.

Before the workshop we sit at a table in Philosophia, with paper spread out. If elbows meet, the count is too high, even when the banquet offers about 100. About 180 square metres carries that banquet as a guide, not as a duty. Power has to reach the top, not a socket in the corner whose cable crosses the step-free route. We count places only once the paper is down. An empty chair plan with no sheets is a talk.

Chair rows are refused on this day. About 200 in a row in Philosophia is listening, and a workshop is not that. People write, sort and leave sheets. The screen shows one step and then gets out of the way. A day of slides with no table top is another format. Ask for the row on the walk-through and we will say it is no longer a work table.

If the tables in Philosophia do not fit, the main hall becomes one plenary, more than 600 square metres, about 400 seated as a guide, still one room. We do not draw six rooms into it. A row or a parliament layout there is on request only, and the ask stays the table. Philosophia and the hall are not added. About 600 is the standing reception, not a row of chairs and not a work table. The terrace, about 500 standing, is the break, not the group.

Materials come through building 17, ground floor, step-free and fully accessible. Rain keeps the paper inside. About 300 at a banquet on the terrace, and about 5,000 people in open air across up to 5,000 square metres on the AEG grounds, are other formats, the second of them outdoors only. One producer holds power, food and sound, so nothing hot sits on a cable. If lunch clears the tables, that is in the plan before any cooking. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance. Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. Guests check railway lifts themselves. We confirm the day when the table is honest.
