Forum
The Forum am Schlosspark serves as our main conference venue, and is one of most modern conference centers in the Stuttgart region. Built in 1988, the Forum has hosted many large enterprise, association, and cultural organization conferences, as well as performances by international ensembles and artists. The Forum is surrounded by historical baroque architecture and is a short walk from the city center, and adjacent to the Nestor Hotel. Below are directions to the Forum, plus a map showing the location. There is parking available at the Forum.
