What event formats can currently be held in Kemptthal?
Chris Baer: The various locations offer flexible options for events of all kinds, whether seminars, staff parties, weddings, exhibitions or concerts. The conference rooms for up to 200 participants in the MOTORWORLD halls are certainly refreshingly different from what we are used to, as are cooking events for 100 people in the KITCHEN LAB or a sophisticated aperitif Raperitif on the SILO ROOFTOP are real event highlights. We place a special focus on large corporate events, which we have already been able to implement for several clients with a special indoor-outdoor space concept for up to 5,000 guests.

What is your personal favorite for a unique company event?
My personal highlight is the employee summer parties with 500 to 1,500 participants. They bring an incomparable energy to the site - it's fascinating to see how teams come together in a relaxed and inspiring environment. The combination of a sense of community, first-class catering and a wide range of entertainment options creates this very special atmosphere every time.

What exciting events can we expect in 2025?
For us, 2025 is all about diversity and innovation. With a total of eleven major car and motorcycle events, including the popular Older Classics on the second Sunday of the summer months and the-Car-Meetings, we have put together a varied program for all vehicle fans. From February to June, the Zurich University of the Arts will be staging a total of 21 theater and dance performances in the event hall, as well as the popular performance by the Ttheater Kanton Zürich is also taking place again. In mid-August, the unique Openair-cinema on the roof terrace of the SILO bar and an extraordinary music festival in September. Many highlights that fill the area with life, and we look forward to offering our guests unforgettable moments - stay tuned, what is yet to come!
