Meet & Greet with impact – The best summer seminar spots in Austria’s lake regions

In Austria, “mit Schlag” doesn’t mean dynamic, but: with cream. The icing on the cake – or in the MICE sector: at your company event. “Meet & Greet mit Schlag” stands for summer seminars that are professionally planned, implemented to a high standard and enjoyably staged – with that certain something extra.

And where better to do this than in Austria’s beautiful lake regions? Between crystal-clear water, imposing Alpine scenery and charming locations, meetings unfold their full effect.
