Why host your seminar at FOOUND?
Everyone shows up without even thinking about it
A five-minute walk from the Cornavin train station: your participants coming from Lausanne, Neuchâtel, or neighboring France can simply get off the train and walk. The venue is accessible to people with limited mobility, and no one has to look for a parking spot.
Dining—whatever you prefer
Our café-restaurant will reopen this fall. Until then, you can arrange your meal however you like: bring in the caterer of your choice, or we can put you in touch with Odelis Catering, subject to their availability. Vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose-free options are available.
Classrooms that fit your schedule
U-shaped tables, classrooms, conference rooms, and round tables: the furniture can be rearranged. And when your day includes a mix of plenary sessions and workshops, you can reserve two adjacent rooms. By combining these spaces, we can accommodate up to 350 m².
A place that says something about you
FOOUND is B Corp certified and a member of the Geneva Chamber of Social and Solidarity Economy. Secondhand furniture, homemade cuisine, an inclusive space: your seminar is part of a cohesive approach, and it shows.
