Rotterdam is a city with a distinct character, energetic and never the same. Rotterdam and Rotterdammers do not shy away from the experiment, but rather look for it. Just as the Nieuwe Maas is a strong symbol for constant movement. A city where the Make It Happen mentality is tangible and visible. With parties that choose Rotterdam and give their own interpretation to the Rotterdam mentality and “can do” spirit. Whether you are a resident, visitor or entrepreneur: Rotterdam. Make It Happen.
As an event and conference city, Rotterdam has an enormous diversity of locations. Perhaps most striking: the large number of unconventional locations.
Kunsthal
The iconic building, designed by the renowned architect Rem Koolhaas, offers seven different exhibition halls, a characteristic Auditorium and an atmospheric Kunsthal café. You can go to the Auditorium for your presentation, conference, film screening, fashion show or music performance. You can go to the Kunsthal café for dinner, drinks or company parties. With art in and around the café and a spacious (roof) terrace, the Kunsthal café has its own unique atmosphere. Of course you can combine the event with a visit to the exhibitions. You can choose to offer your guests a guided tour of the exhibitions or a visit on their own. This visit can take place both inside and outside the fixed opening hours. Due to the varied exhibition offer, a visit to the Kunsthal is always surprising.

The Euromast is the icon of Rotterdam where you can eat, drink, sleep, party, abseil and of course enjoy the best view of the city! The Euromast is perfect for an inspiring meeting for any type of event from 3 to 350 people. For example, you can organise a meeting for a half day or for the whole day. And supplement this with a ride in the Euroscoop, abseil, zip wire or a tour led by a professional guide. The Euromast Brasserie has four rooms; Daybreak, Sunset, Noon and Dusk.
