Why Twente is a region that takes events seriously

We organise all kinds of corporate events — in Twente too. The most requested:

• Staff party — From informal drinks to an extensive party with entertainment and catering. We think along about the concept, the venue and the programme.
• Company anniversary — Fifteen years, fifty years, a hundred years — every anniversary calls for an approach that suits the organisation. We have run dozens of anniversaries for Twente businesses.
• Kick-off and team day — A new year, a new project or a new strategy. We turn your kick-off into a day people remember.
• Conference and seminar — Knowledge sharing in a professional setting, with good technical production and a programme that matches your objective.
• Family day — Partners and children included, a day away from work. We arrange the venue, activities and catering.
• Client event — Thanking customers, strengthening relationships. An exclusive dinner, a special experience or an informal networking event.

Twente has a rich mix of event venues. From industrial heritage to modern business centres, from theatre halls to outdoor locations in the Twente landscape.

In Enschede, Muziekcentrum Enschede, the Volkspark and various redeveloped factory buildings are popular for corporate events. Hengelo has the Twentse Schouwburg and several conference venues suitable for a hundred to five hundred guests. In Almelo you'll find venues that work well for regional company gatherings and staff parties.

Outside the cities, the Twente landscape offers unique possibilities. Country estates, outdoor centres and recreational areas that work excellently as a backdrop for team days, family days and outdoor events.

We know almost every relevant venue in the region. We have visited them, assessed them and worked with the teams who run them. If you need a venue for your event in Twente, we'll send you a shortlist of three options that suit your audience, budget and programme. No endless comparing — we filter for you.

We are based in 's-Hertogenbosch but operate nationally. That means we take the same approach for Twente businesses as we do for our clients in Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Utrecht: personal and involved.

A collaboration always starts with a conversation. We want to understand your organisation before we propose a single venue. What kind of company are you and what do you want to achieve? And who are the people coming?

From there we build a concept. Not a generic presentation with three options, but a worked-out proposal that fits who you are. With venue advice and a programme outline. Plus a realistic budget.

Once approved, we arrange everything: venue booking, supplier selection, run sheet and all communication. Catering and technical production are part of that too. On the day itself we are present, or we arrange an experienced event coordinator on site.

We work for companies from twenty to five thousand employees, from one-off events to annual programmes.

A corporate event in Twente for fifty to a hundred people costs on average 5,000 to 20,000 euros, depending on the type, the venue and the programme. That is comparable to the rest of the Netherlands — Twente is not cheaper, but not more expensive either.

Rough guidelines:

• Company drinks or an informal staff moment: 2,000 to 6,000 euros
• Team day or kick-off with a programme: 5,000 to 15,000 euros
• Anniversary or larger party with entertainment: 10,000 to 40,000 euros
• Conference or professional seminar: 8,000 to 25,000 euros

In terms of planning: for larger events (conference, anniversary, family day) it is best to start three to six months in advance. Popular venues in Twente get booked up quickly in spring and autumn — in September, October and November.

For a simpler team moment or drinks, four to six weeks is enough. Get in touch and we'll give you an honest picture straight away of what's achievable within your timeline.

There are other events agencies active in Twente. Why should Twente businesses choose Live Impact?

Because we don't offer standard packages. We start with your objective and build from there. That delivers events that fit who you are — no copy-paste of what we did for someone else last week.

Because we know the region. We have worked for businesses in Twente for years. We know the venues, the suppliers and the character of the region. That prevents surprises and saves you time.

Because we think along. Not just about the event, but about what you want to achieve. We ask questions you might not have asked yet. And we are honest when something doesn't suit your budget or objective.

And because we are there on the day itself. We don't disappear once the contract is signed. We are on site, keep an overview and arrange whatever needs arranging.
