Tap into our extensive network of 170+ industry partners supporting you to deliver the best possible conference which will leave a lasting impression on your delegates.
City wide support in bid
Producing a successful bid is key. We will assist you in the bidding process from A to Z by compiling quotes, support letters, and information about the city to deliver an inspiring and customized bid book to help bring your next event to Rotterdam.
Financial benefits
We want to help you deliver exceptional, unforgettable experiences for your delegates. We can advise you on possible financial supports to enhance your program, create unique experiences and exceed all your delegates’ expectations. From funding opportunities to discounted travel and social activities.
Advice on venues, accommodations & social program
We know Rotterdam inside out. Our city is home to a diverse range of venues and more than 11,400 hotel rooms (by 2027), from 3 sustainable convention centres to charming unique venues. We offer tailored location advice and help you shortlist the most suitable venues and accommodation options, so you can make the best choice for you and your delegates. With the Rotterdam Hotel Label we can assure you of the availability of a sufficient number of hotel rooms at a favourable, maximised price.
Site inspection
Seeing is believing, you have to experience Rotterdam as a local for your decision making process. The Rotterdam Partners Convention Bureau hosts site inspections for decision makers, covering conference and meeting venues, hotels, social options and attractions. We create a custom itinerary and act as your expert guide to ensure you experience all you need for your decision.
Collaborating for positive impact
