Amsterdam is probably the most attractive conference city in our country. That’s not surprising: with tens of thousands of hotel rooms, located near the airport, the bustling city life and dozens of beautiful venues. But for many of these benefits, you’re just as good off on the outskirts of the city – and when it comes to accessibility by car, perhaps even better. Are you looking to organize a conference in the Amsterdam region, but would you rather avoid the hustle and bustle of the city? We selected five special conference venues on the outskirts of Amsterdam!
SUGARCITY EVENTS – HALFWEG
Large knowledge events such as a conference are the ideal opportunity to show off. And what better place to show off than SugarCity Events? In the impressive setting of this former sugar factory, there’s no limit to creativity. The venue has numerous spaces, some of them large and impressive, other smaller and more intimate. There’s a good fit for any type of conference. Event organizers love the history and atmosphere of this highly popular venue, which is also flexible enough for you to make your own mark. As a bonus, you’re free to use your own suppliers at this venue!
GOOILAND HILVERSUM
Looking for a stylish venue for a modern and well-cared-for conference? Gooiland is the place to be. In this monumental building, dating from 1936, you’re guaranteed to be surprised by the light, the space and the sustainable possibilities. The striking building was recently modernized and fitted with a nice interior, full of subtle nods towards the history and location of the building in the media city of Hilversum. Gooiland offers a complete package: from catering to technique to the decoration and entertainment. With 17 varying rooms (of which 15 are subspaces), an authentic theatre hall for plenary sessions and the open Green Area there are endless possibilities for variation!

SINGER LAREN
Conferences are a great means to keep your knowledge up-to-date. But the conference-visitor of today wants to be inspired as well. At Singer Laren, the setting is guaranteed to contribute to an inspiring gathering. In the spectacular, light and modern building – with a fully equipped theatre room (100-400 people), a museum with varying exhibitions from Dutch artists, a monumental villa, a beautiful sculpture garden, free parking and various meeting rooms – the arts come together. What’s more, on Mondays and in the evenings, the museum is available to be used privately for your event. And with a new exhibition every season, there’s always something new to discover!
TAETS ART & EVENT PARK
Taets Art & Event Park is a special national monument along the Amsterdam North Sea Canal (accessible by boat!). In this wooded area, there are 125 industrial and in part monumental buildings. ‘Taets’ operates several event venues in this area, each with its own completely unique character and atmosphere. The Black Box (4500m2), for example, can be completely personalized for your conference, while other locations such as the ProjectFabriek (Project Factory) and the Kathedraal (Cathedral) are bursting with industrial character. Do you want to combine several spaces, or would you rather go outside? No problem. Thanks to the perfect accessibility and the unprecedented possibilities, Taets managed to grow into a leading destination on the Dutch event market.
