Why Amersfoort is a strong event city

Amersfoort works well for events that want to combine a historic setting with central accessibility. Think of conferences for regional organisations or client events in historic buildings. Plus team days in and around the city, or staff parties with an authentic Amersfoort backdrop.

The city also has a strong business scene in the services sector. Hotels with conference facilities around Amersfoort offer excellent infrastructure for multi-day events. And the proximity of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug offers opportunities for outdoor activities.

Think of a congress at the Amersfoort Congrescentrum or a client event in the historic old town. Plus a team day in the green surroundings. Concept development in Amersfoort: historic and central.
