All rooms can be used in flexible formats (plug & play), in order to respond optimally to the specific wishes of organizers. The ingenious architecture ensures a smooth logistical flow, even when several events take place simultaneously. We are eagerly looking forward to the inauguration of the building in January 2022.

For larger conferences it is possible to collaborate with other nearby local partners, such as the Concert Hall. The building is situated nearby at 't Zand with a maximum capacity of 1289 pax.
