Hosting an event in amsterdam
Hosting an event in the beautiful Netherlands? We are here to help. Explore the guide below to help learn about the city, and what it has to offer meeting planners and conference attendees.
GENERAL INFORMATION
ABOUT Amsterdam
Amsterdam is the capital and most populous city of the Netherlands. Found within the Dutch province of North Holland, Amsterdam is colloquially referred to as the "Venice of the North", due to the large number of canals.
Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, and became the leading centre for the finance and trade sectors. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded and many new neighborhoods and suburbs were planned and built. (source)
The City as a Conference Destination:
Amsterdam is the ideal destination for your next business meeting, conference or event. The Amsterdam Convention Bureau operates independently and offers a large number of free services to add as much value as possible to any business convention.
Amsterdam offers a wide selection of impressive venues for your meeting, conference or convention. There are more than 500 venues to choose from, ranging from small groups up to 50,000 people. Every venue is following strict guidelines to make events as safe as possible, such as taking extra hygiene measures, maintaining enough distance between participants, and providing good ventilation. But we wouldn’t be one of the most innovative cities in Europe if we didn’t come up with a range of additional possibilities.

Amsterdam Food Options for Conference Delegates
Food and entertainment opportunities in Amsterdam are endless. Explore some of its most renowned offerings:
In 2013, Amsterdam star chef Ron Blaauw closed his two-Michelin-starred restaurant and reopened this more easygoing spot in its stead. Since then, the Gastrobar has been setting the tone for Amsterdam's unpretentious, next-gen dining scene.
The White Room is considered the oldest operating restaurant in Amsterdam, having opened in 1885 inside the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky on Dam Square. Today, renowned chef Jacob Jan Boerma makes surprising use of fruit flavors and aromatic spices in the beautifully-presented dishes that comprise the five-, seven-, and nine-course menus.
Everything about this tiny, four-table café is quintessential Amsterdam: It's set in a 16th-century house on the edge of the Red Light District, you can only access the dining room via a narrow staircase, there are quirky teapots hanging from the ceiling, and the menu consists of pancakes, only pancakes. That is, the Dutch variety served with savory, and sometimes sweet, toppings.
Amsterdam Attractions for Convention Attendees
Amsterdam's main attractions include its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, the Concertgebouw, the Anne Frank House, the Scheepvaartmuseum, the Amsterdam Museum, the Heineken Experience, the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, Natura Artis Magistra, Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, NEMO, the red-light district and many cannabis coffee shops. It drew more than 5 million international visitors in 2014.[16] The city is also well known for its nightlife and festival activity; with several of its nightclubs (Melkweg, Paradiso) among the world's most famous. Primarily known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled façades; well-preserved legacies of the city's 17th-century Golden Age. These characteristics are arguably responsible for attracting millions of Amsterdam's visitors annually. Cycling is key to the city's character, and there are numerous biking paths and lanes spread throughout the entire city. (source)
