Scheduling Workshop 2026 in Cologne Brauweiler

Dear Sir or Madam,

We would like to invite you to our scheduling workshop.
The available dates are:

  • Thursday, 18 June 2026 (German)
  • Monday, 22 June 2026 (English)
  • Thursday, 25 June 2026 (German)

On the evening before, we will get in the mood with some ‘Kölsch networking’ – a relaxed get-together at a brewery. Participation is optional, but highly recommended as a way to make contacts and discuss initial topics in person.

  • Wednesday, 17 June 2026 (German)
  • Wednesday, 24 June 2026 (German)

Note on ‘Kölsche Networking’: Unfortunately, the brewery tour can only be conducted in German and is therefore only offered on the evening before the German-language workshop dates.
