Combine business with pleasure
Explanation:
If the text beneath details the conference venues, you may get away with leaving "Tagen" as such out of the title. IMO, combining business with pleasure would put across the right idea across.

Combining Work and Wellness in ...


Explanation:
The word wellness might not cover all the offered activities, I just liked it because of the alliteration... Plus, Wohlfühlen and wellness is pretty close.

neutral  Colin Rowe: As you say, "Wellness" alliterates nicely. However, I am not sure that it is used in quite the same way in English as in German... Perhaps the Americans use it more? To my British ears it sounds decidedly German in this context!

  -> You're right, I checked several American sites that contained the word 'wellness' and I must say, it's probably used more in the context of 'health and wellness'. http://www.wellness.com/
