Hi All, about the locations: Most likely: Building ROT03 - Raiffeisenring 37, 68789 Sankt Leon-Rot. This is a building mainly used for internal workshops and events. You'll find a site map for Rot on http://www.sap.com/germany/about/standorte/pdf/buildings-Rot.pdf. The second option is a building called "Harres" (see www.harres.de) - An der Autobahn 60, 68789 St. Leon-Rot (this is not a SAP building).
More details for the ROT03 building: There is one large Audimax for about 300 persons, three rooms for about 50 to 70 persons and several smaller rooms for about 20 persons. There's a cafeteria (coffee, tea, water) and a canteen. Wifi access should not be a problem. A train station is nearby (Rot/Malsch), most of the employees commute from Heidelberg or Karlsruhe. Next international airport is Frankfurt/Main (FRA). It takes about 1 hour if you go by car (A5 direction Heidelberg/Basel) and about 1:10 if you go by train (see www.bahn.de). ROT03 is located in a industrial area - so there are not many accommodations/pubs nearby. SAP doesn't offer accommodation, but there are lots of small hotels in St. Leon-Rot and Walldorf (or other villages around Rot, like Malsch. If you're more into sightseeing, you might want to go to Heidelberg or Mannheim - there's a nightlife (not in Rot). In Heidelberg, there are hostels as well, so staying in Heidelberg and commuting to Rot might be an option, too. Hosting a beer-event in ROT03 seems doable, I would have to check with our Facility Management. First things I need to know: the "When" and "How many days". I could then ask our Facility Management, to check for available dates, rooms and other conditions. Vacations are April/02-13 Eastern, May/29-June/06 Pentecost, the summer vacation is end of July to first week of September. I would suggest that we select a date not during the vacations, so the last two weeks of April or first three weeks of May should be ok. Like Alasdair, I would also vote for an event during the week - preferably Tuesday to Thursday, leaving Monday and Friday for travelling / sightseeing. What do you think? Best regards, Paul
