Conferences and Conventions

The Achterhoek is an excellent region to organise a congress or conference. The peace, space, abundant greenery and diversity of venues offer plenty of opportunities. The region is home to sustainable and creative entrepreneurship in various industries—and with good reason. A natural environment breeds inspiration and ideas. Hospitality, sustainability and collaboration are high on our agenda. Add a touch of Achterhoek to your business meeting, and you can be sure your guests will return home feeling inspired. The Achterhoek is easily accessible by various means of transport. Parking is easy to find and often free. 

Congress venue for congresses of all sizes

Choose one of the well-equipped venues in the area for your small-scale congress or conference, multi-day and international meetings. For added interest, create a surprising combination of multiple venues and let visitors to your congress or conference experience the surroundings. Transport can be arranged to take guests to and from the venues. 

The Achterhoek also has several inspiring venues available for large business meetings. Theatres, auditoriums, museums, castles and locations with cultural and historical value are transformed into inspiring conference and convention centres. Step off the beaten track and organise your small or large business meeting in an area relatively new to the business market. 

Relaxed conference organisation

Local and regional event services—including catering service, rental companies, live streams, AV support, reporting or event agencies—can help you organise your conference to perfection. Event organisation is stress-free and relaxed in and with the Achterhoek. It’s in our DNA.

Social activities during your conference

It is important to balance effort with relaxation. For many participants, a rich social programme is one of the key reasons for attending a conference. We can also help you prepare a diverse programme for after or between meetings. There is plenty to choose from: delicious local food, outdoor sports, group activities, a walk with the forest ranger, or a musical or cultural addition to your programme.
