St.Gallen has so much to offer, with world-leading companies, a prestigious university and the Abbey District of St.Gallen – a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Its strong network of experts and the wide range of conferences and events it offers make it a particularly appealing setting. Be inspired by the dynamic environment and write your success story here, between Lake Constance and the Alpstein! We will be happy to advise you and help you get decisions made quickly with the city, the canton and the regional tourism organisation.
Situated at the crossroads of Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein, St.Gallen is easy and convenient to reach by car, public transport, or plane.
Home to leading companies in the fields of precision engineering, health, business and science, nutrition and ICT, the St.Gallen-Lake Constance region is proving to be a hotbed of success.
The St.Gallen Convention Bureau’s various partners, which include hotels, educational institutions and cultural centres, make a significant contribution to the attractiveness of St.Gallen as a conference destination.
Assembly of Delegates of Loipen Schweiz (Cross-Country Skiing Switzerland)
Luzia Wanner
Loipen Schweiz held this year’s assembly of delegates in the Pfalzkeller. We really appreciated that the venue was in the centre of the old town. Dinner at the Scheitlinsbüchel restaurant was also a great experience. The St.Gallen Convention Bureau actively supported us with organising the hotel accommodation and the great goodie bags. The two exciting guided tours that St.Gallen-Bodensee Tourism organised for us were also brilliant. We highly recommend the St.Gallen Convention Bureau and the city of St.Gallen.
Opening of the Gallus Experience Center
Angelika Huber
It was a pleasure to work with the St.Gallen Convention Bureau team on the opening of the Gallus Experience Center and the celebration of our 100th anniversary. Their pragmatic approach, quick responses to questions and consistently high level of professionalism made the entire process of booking hotel rooms and city tours stress-free.
LawWithoutWalls Sprint 2023
Anita Ritchie
The LawWithoutWalls (LWOW) Sprint is an experimental legal innovation experience bringing together aspiring and practising lawyers from around the world. In 2023, the LWOW Sprint was held in St.Gallen and was organised by the University of St.Gallen Executive School of Technology, Management and Law. The success of LWOW 2023 was partly down to the excellent job SGCB did organising the accommodation. Having the accommodation sorted allowed our team to focus on the logistics of the event. Thank you, SGCB!
Annual General Meeting of the Swiss Society of Clinical Chemistry
Diana Schönenberger Wick
The theme of the annual general meeting of the Swiss Society of Clinical Chemistry was «Bridging the Gap between Analytics and Clinic». It took a year to prepare for the three-day conference at Olma Messen St.Gallen which included a gala dinner at netts and discussions on digitalisation, which is increasingly finding its way into laboratory medicine. As a company with local roots, it makes sense for us to work with partners in the city of St.Gallen. The St.Gallen Convention Bureau provided us with straightforward, professional support in organising accommodation for the conference attendees.
«100 years of the Hälg Group» – anniversary celebration
Tamara Bosshard
On 9 September 2022, the Hälg Group celebrated «100 years of the Hälg Group» with its current and retired employees in St.Gallen, where the company was founded 100 years ago. We needed to organise overnight accommodation on site for guests who had a long way to travel. We were grateful to be able to rely on the expertise of the professionals at the St.Gallen Convention Bureau to organise the hotel accommodation for us – thank you very much!
The St.Gallen Symposium social programme
Joanne Rimbeaux
After a year of preparations for the 51st St.Gallen Symposium, we wanted to give special thanks to our biggest supporters, the parents of the members of the 51st International Student Committee (ISC). In May 2022, we organised various city tours via the St.Gallen Convention Bureau as part of the St.Gallen Symposium parents’ programme. We greatly value our long-standing partnership with the St.Gallen Convention Bureau. They provide us with amazing support, which we, as a student initiative, greatly appreciate.
Model WTO conference
Sabrina Keller
The Model WTO conference welcomes more than 70 students from all over the world to St.Gallen every year. As Head of Event, I was lucky to have the St.Gallen Convention Bureau’s team of experts on hand to answer my questions. Their quick responses were much appreciated and provided me with valuable input. Their expertise ultimately helped make the multi-day conference on the 25th anniversary of the Model WTO a great success. Our participants were thoroughly impressed with all that St.Gallen had to offer. I will definitely be recommending this great service to the future organising committee.
The START Summit
Dennis Schmid
START Global, a student association, organises the START Summit every year. We are very grateful for the St.Gallen Convention Bureau’s enthusiastic and highly professional support, which always makes a significant contribution to the success of the START Summit. Both we, the organisers, and our event benefit from the team’s in-depth expertise and local knowledge. We greatly appreciate having a partnership of equals with the St.Gallen Convention Bureau and would recommend their services to others any time!
International Conference on the Internet of Things
Professor Simon Mayer
Returning to valuable in-person interactions at the International Conference on the Internet of Things was a challenging but successful transition. We really appreciated the great support and high degree of flexibility that the St.Gallen Convention Bureau offered, especially in light of the international make-up of our community and the many changes in the global epidemiological situation in the weeks leading up to the event. Thank you so much!
Shareholders’ meeting
Christiane Stein
For the first time in a long time, we were able to hold our shareholders’ meeting as an in-person event, with participants from four countries. This was made possible thanks to the safety and hygiene measures put in place and the excellent preparation at the Stadthaus in St.Gallen. The Convention Bureau St.Gallen team provided us with excellent and professional support. Their staff are very friendly and all our participants felt comfortable at the event. We would like to thank you for the warm hospitality you showed us in St.Gallen!
Annual general meeting
Livia Müller
The 88th annual general meeting of the Swiss Tourism Federation was held in the St.Gallen Stadthaus at the end of August 2020. We were able to hold our annual general meeting in person under the prevailing hygiene and social-distancing rules at the time – something we appreciated more than ever before. Despite the turbulent times, the convention team gave us great support. The overnight stay at the Hotel Einstein, the dinner at the Gasthof Schlössli and the event itself were all a success. Thank you very much for your valuable help and seamless organisation!
Excellence programme – Best Practice in Marketing
Katja Söllner
Every year, as part of our «Best Practice in Marketing» excellence programme, we hold several events in beautiful St.Gallen and other wonderful locations in Eastern Switzerland. We make use of St.Gallen-Bodensee Tourism’s professional consulting service to help us with the organisation. They always provide fresh ideas and give you fast, friendly, customised and expert support with everything you need. We really appreciate this and can’t recommend them highly enough!
International conference
Abhinay Agarwal
We were planning an international conference and were able to count on St.Gallen-Bodensee Tourism’s hands-on support right from the start. Their in-depth local knowledge and dedication made them the reliable partner we needed to help us organise the conference. This perfect partnership between destination and agency really paid off in terms of the quality of the event.
Delegates’ assembly of the Swiss Red Cross
Vera Fischer Aeberhard
In 2019, as part of the organisation of the delegates’ assembly of the Swiss Red Cross, which takes place every year in a different canton, I, together with the Red Cross of the Canton of St.Gallen, contacted the St.Gallen Convention Bureau to assess suitable venues to hold this meeting, as well as accommodation for participants. Working with the St.Gallen Convention Bureau was a pleasure. The one-to-one support provided was highly beneficial and remained excellent even when things got busy. I would like to thank them for their excellent support and I would be happy to work with them again in the future.
Annual general meeting
Karin Gugger
For our annual general meeting, we offer our shareholders a new and exciting location in a different region of Switzerland every year. St.Gallen’s famous Abbey District drew us to the city and we found exactly what we were looking for with the wonderful support provided by the St.Gallen Convention Bureau. Our meeting was held in the cosy setting of the Forum & Pfalzkeller, followed by delicious food at Hotel Einstein. We were thrilled!
German-speaking meeting of Soroptimist friends
Marlise Müller-Baumberger
A big thank you to the St.Gallen Convention Bureau for their valuable and straightforward support, which made a lot of work easier for us. Taking care of the hotel bookings was a great relief for us. The advice on various topics such as the information material and social programme was just as helpful as the image and video material provided. We would like to thank for the prompt assistance and excellent cooperation.

Delta Carmen
