Amsterdam RAI is the Netherlands largest convention centre. Eleven multi-functional halls are available for exhibitions, congresses, meetings and other events. The congress centre comprises two auditoria and 64 congress and conference rooms. In addition, the state-of-the-art ballroom offers event space up to 1,985 sqm (21,366 sq ft). The RAI complex has been designed to be as flexible as possible in order to accommodate all types of events, whether they occupy the entire complex or only use a part of it. Flexibility is a key word, especially in today’s market, and there is a growing need for locations where conference possibilities can be combined with exhibitions and/or meeting rooms, e.g., for break-out-sessions or product presentations. Some 477 events were organised in the RAI complex in 2013, attracting around 1.4 million visitors. In October 2013, Amsterdam RAI started with the construction on a new, flexible and sustainable conference and office building on the northern side of Amsterdam RAI. The building will be opened on May 1st 2015.
