Are you looking for a centrally located and distinctive venue for your (inter)national conference or business event? Then the World Trade Center Rotterdam is definitely worth considering. Located in an iconic building with a rich history and a clear vision for the future, this venue offers a unique combination of character, flexibility, and sustainability. VKOZ events & communication recently revisited this remarkable location.
A building with both history and vision
WTC Rotterdam is one of the most recognizable buildings in the city. The main tower – with its iconic green façade – dates back to the 1930s and is a listed national monument. Originally built as a grain exchange, the building features small windows – a deliberate architectural choice to limit sunlight and better preserve the grain. During the post-war reconstruction of Rotterdam, the building became a hub for entrepreneurs – a role it still proudly fulfills today.
Following a major renovation, WTC Rotterdam is now fully equipped for the future. The combination of historical charm and modern facilities makes it a unique venue for conferences, trade shows, and business meetings.
Flexible, central and complete
WTC offers everything you need for a successful event – large or small. Highlights include:
- Multiple plenary halls and breakout rooms with natural daylight
- Direct connection to the Postillion Hotel – ideal for multi-day events
- A beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the city
- State-of-the-art audiovisual facilities and a dedicated support team
- Excellent accessibility by public transport (near Blaak and Beurs stations) and by car
Whether you’re planning an intimate board meeting or a large international congress, this venue can be tailored to your needs and offers plenty of room to get creative.
Sustainable and forward-thinking: Plant First
One of the most exciting developments at WTC Rotterdam is its step towards sustainable catering. Starting August 1st, 2025, it will be the first venue in the Netherlands to offer 100% plant-based catering through its new ‘Plant First’ concept. VKOZ had the chance to try it – and we can confirm: it’s not only planet-friendly, it’s also delicious.
This sustainability focus aligns perfectly with the goals of many modern organisations and makes WTC a smart choice for companies looking to host future-proof events.
