On May 19 and 20, 2025, the doors opened at Siebenstern for a very special event: the first international PLAYPARC Congress brought together partners and customers from all over the world - for an inspiring, lively and in-depth professional exchange.
Many of our guests arrived the evening before and took the opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere - over a good meal in the charming Paderquell area in Paderborn. First conversations, first encounters - the perfect prelude to what was to follow.
The next morning, the congress started punctually at 11:00 a.m. with 32 cheerful participants from 12 different countries. The first presentation by Prof. Dr. Tim Bindel immediately attracted attention and enthusiasm, before a joint project between the Kokomo architecture firm and PLAYPARC was presented - an exciting insight into creative synergies and innovative ideas.
Afterwards, our guests were given exclusive insights into our production processes and the creation of our products during a guided tour of the factory halls - transparent, clear and practical.
But there was no shortage of active experiences either: in the afternoon, things got sporty at the Ahorn Sports Park. Here, participants could choose between a baseball game or a guided tour of the grounds. 12 guests took to the pitch with great enthusiasm, while others were inspired by the variety of sports facilities.
The day ended in a convivial atmosphere over dinner - the room was filled with conversation, laughter and the desire to deepen the exchange.
On the second day of the congress, four more exciting presentations awaited the audience in the morning before heading out into the surrounding area in the afternoon: together we visited PLAYPARC installations in use - live, hands-on, in a real usage context.
The unanimous conclusion: the first PLAYPARC Congress was a complete success! Our guests particularly praised the successful combination of professional knowledge transfer and personal experience. The consistently positive feedback confirms that this mix of knowledge, practice and real encounters was a hit - and many of them definitely want to come back next time.
