Conference & Business Events – Amsterdam

We act as your full-service Conference & Business Event partner. This goes far beyond just booking a room. We handle the entire lifecycle of your event: from strategic venue sourcing and logistical planning to on-site technical production, catering, and hospitality staffing. We turn a “meeting” into an immersive brand experience.

No. While we have a fleet of boats, our primary focus for conferences is land-based venue sourcing. We have exclusive access to Amsterdam’s most iconic spaces—from industrial warehouses and historic stock exchanges to high-tech conference centers. We often use our boats for the social side of the conference (transfers, dinners), but the main business happens on land.

Yes. We have extensive experience working with global brands and scale-ups. Whether you are hosting a 50-person leadership summit or a 500+ delegate international conference, we have the logistical capacity and local network to execute it flawlessly.

We don’t do “boring beige boxes.” We source venues with character. This could be a converted gasworks building for a raw industrial vibe, a prestigious canal mansion for a board summit, or a hyper-modern auditorium for a tech launch. We match the venue to your brand story.

Absolutely. A conference fails if the tech fails. We provide comprehensive Audio Visual (AV) support, including high-definition projection, professional sound systems, stage lighting, and microphones. We can also facilitate hybrid events with live-streaming capabilities for remote attendees.

Yes. We believe the environment shapes the message. We can assist with set design, stage branding, and breakout area styling. We also have crew for photography, videography, and content creation to capture the highlights of your event.

We offer a full range of hospitality options. From barista coffee bars to keep energy high in the morning, to healthy networking lunches and seated gala dinners. We work with premium caterers who can adapt menus for all dietary requirements (Vegan, Halal, Gluten-Free).

Yes. We provide a professional crew to run the show. This includes Project Managers, technical engineers, hospitality hosts/hostesses for registration, and security personnel if required. Our staff is multilingual and experienced in high-end hospitality.

Yes. As a Destination Management Company (DMC), we handle the “boring” logistics so you don’t have to. We arrange VIP airport transfers, hotel accommodation (room blocks), and shuttle services to move your delegates between their hotels and the conference venue.

For large conferences, we recommend starting the process 6 to 12 months in advance to secure the best venues. However, we are agile and can often pull together smaller business events with shorter lead times, depending on availability.

This is our “Flagship” signature. We believe the best networking happens outside the conference room. We can seamlessly integrate social experiences—like a Canal Cruise, a Walking Dinner, or a Private Museum Tour—into your conference agenda to keep engagement high.

Yes. Your brand should be visible everywhere. We can brand the venue entrance, the stage, the lanyards, and even the transport (branded boats or buses). We ensure your corporate identity is cohesive throughout the entire event.

Yes. Sustainability is a key pillar for modern business events. We can prioritize Green Key venues, arrange electric transport, and minimize waste through digital signage and sustainable catering choices.

We select venues that offer flexibility. Whether you need a large plenary hall that splits into smaller workshops, or a main stage with separate “silence pods” for networking, we design the floor plan to facilitate flow and interaction.

Every conference is unique. Please schedule a strategic intake with our event planners via the form on the Flagship Events website. We will discuss your objectives, audience, and budget, and then present a tailored concept note and quote.
