Why Eindhoven is the city for innovative events

Eindhoven shines at events that radiate innovation, design or a focus on the future. Think of launch gatherings for companies in the technology sector. Or product launches in avant-garde settings, conferences for the manufacturing industry and creative team days on the High Tech Campus. Eindhoven is then the ideal setting.

The city also works well for companies that want to reinvent themselves. An event in Eindhoven sends a message: we are an organisation that thinks ahead. That can be a powerful signal to employees, clients and stakeholders.

Think of a product launch in an industrial building in Strijp-S, a conference on the High Tech Campus, or a kick-off during the Dutch Design Week period. Concept development in Eindhoven starts with the question: what do you want to radiate?

Eindhoven has a remarkable events landscape. Strijp-S is the former Philips complex and now a creative destination. With factory buildings and industrial character, it's perfect for events that want to say something. The High Tech Campus Eindhoven (the smartest km² in the world) offers a unique setting for technology events.

The Klokgebouw on Strijp-S is an iconic venue with industrial heritage for large events. The Evoluon is a futuristic UFO-shaped building that is a statement in itself. The Philips Stadion and the MEC Congrescentrum draw large conferences and corporate events.

During Dutch Design Week (late October) special temporary venues are available that aren't normally accessible. In that case, plan extra early. Read: finding an event venue.

Eindhoven is excellently accessible. Eindhoven Airport offers flights to dozens of European destinations, handy for international guests. By train, Eindhoven is connected to Amsterdam (75 min), Utrecht (60 min) and 's-Hertogenbosch (20 min). By car you arrive via the A2 and A67.

Parking in Eindhoven is considerably easier than in the Randstad. Strijp-S and the High Tech Campus have ample parking facilities. The centre has several car parks within walking distance of the event venues.

When organising an event in Eindhoven for international visitors: actively point guests to the flight connections via Eindhoven Airport. Live Impact coordinates the full arrival logistics here too, from shuttle bus to catering.

Eindhoven is attractively priced relative to the Randstad. Venues like the Evoluon or Klokgebouw have their own premium. Generally, you pay less in Eindhoven for the same quality than in Amsterdam or Rotterdam.

For a mid-sized event (100 to 250 people) in Eindhoven, count on a total budget of €50,000 to €140,000. Smaller events (25 to 50 people) for €7,000 to €30,000. Large conferences on the High Tech Campus or in the MEC can rise to €250,000 or more.

Eindhoven Airport also makes it possible to welcome guests from several countries without enormous travel costs. The WKR (work-related costs scheme) applies in Eindhoven too. More: creating an event budget.

Eindhoven is a city full of potential, but also full of choices. Strijp-S alone has dozens of possible event venues. The High Tech Campus has its own protocols. And the Dutch Design Week period calls for specific planning.
