Why Apeldoorn is a special choice for corporate events

Apeldoorn is ideally suited to events that want to combine calm and space with professional content. Nature plays a big part in that. Think of management retreats or strategy sessions with an outdoor component. Plus team days with activities in nature, or exclusive client events on a country estate.

The city's royal allure also works well for galas and anniversary parties that want a stately character. And the modern hotel complexes and conference centres in and around Apeldoorn offer excellent infrastructure for multi-day events.

Think of a team day on the Veluwe or a client event on a wooded estate. Plus a congress in a modern hotel with forest views. Read also: developing an event concept.

Apeldoorn and its surroundings have unique venues. Paleis Het Loo is available for exclusive events: a royal stage that few other cities can offer. Various country estates on the Veluwe offer wooded settings for small-scale events and retreats.

Apenheul can be hired for distinctive corporate events. The Berg en Bos area offers outdoor space close to the city. For conferences there are modern hotels with conference centres. Think of the Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn and the Bilderberg Hotel De Keizerskroon.

Apeldoorn also has the Theater Orpheus, suitable for plenary sessions and theatre shows. The diversity of venues is wide: from wooded estate to modern hotel to palace garden. That makes Apeldoorn suitable for every budget and every format. Read: finding an event venue.

Apeldoorn has an intercity station with connections to Utrecht (50 min), Arnhem (25 min) and Zwolle (30 min). The A1 and A50 make the city reachable from the Randstad and the eastern Netherlands.

Parking is no problem in Apeldoorn. The centre has ample parking, and the estates and hotel venues outside the centre have large car parks of their own. That is a strong advantage for events with many guests arriving by car.

When organising an event in Apeldoorn at a woodland location: communicate the route clearly. GPS doesn't always work well at remote estates. Live Impact always coordinates clear route planning for guests as part of the event preparation.

Apeldoorn and the Veluwe region are attractively priced. Estates and hotel complexes offer excellent value for money. Exclusive venues such as palace gardens carry higher rates, but are rare to find in other cities.

For a mid-sized event (100 to 250 people) in Apeldoorn, count on an all-in budget of €45,000 to €120,000. Smaller retreats (10 to 30 people) on an estate for €5,000 to €20,000. Multi-day conference events in hotel complexes for €150,000 or more.

The WKR (work-related costs scheme) applies here too. Apeldoorn offers special venues for a fair price compared with the Randstad. More: what does an events agency cost?

Organising an event in Apeldoorn calls for knowledge of the region. Which estates are really open to events? That requires local contacts. The technical infrastructure for a professional programme demands experience with the Veluwe's event venues. And the combination of calm nature with an energetic event experience only works when you know both sides of the region.
