With over 16,000 square meters of open space, halls and conference rooms, the Centre for Global Dialogue sits high on a hill looking out over the Lake of Zurich and Alps of the Glärnerland.

At the heart of the pavilion is the Forum, a bright and spacious venue with direct views. This space divides into two separate conference rooms and is suitable for up to 260 participants. The adjoining Foyer, overlooking the park, is used for breakout sessions and receptions.

The 50 Guest Rooms, housed in the Pavilion, are quiet, spacious and comfortable, many with views of the Lake and the Alps. All have en-suite bathrooms, working space with internet access, direct-dial telephones and TV/Radio. There are three VIP suites as well, all with views.

The Centre for Global Dialogue provides a forum for leading thinkers and decision-makers to discuss recent and future developments in economy and business, science and technology, society and culture.

What happens to the world makes a big difference to a company like Swiss Re. The global risk market is affected by social, political, economic and environmental factors. The Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue in Rüschlikon was created specificaly to explore these factors and to address issues of strategic importance for the future.
