Utrecht
Utrecht is the lively, beating heart of the Netherlands. It was built around the Dom tower, which you can see from any point in the city, so there is no way you can get lost in the attractive, car-free city centre. Utrecht boasts beautiful canals with extraordinary wharf cellars housing cafés and terraces by the water. As well as the Dom tower, Utrecht boasts hundreds of other monuments that each contribute to the special atmosphere in this centuries-old university town.
The Van der Valk Hotel
The forum will take place in the Van der Valk hotel. This venue offers 185 luxury hotel rooms and 23 modern conference rooms. The hotel offers a bar, a restaurant, a sky lounge and several wellness facilities. It's conveniently located right next to the highway (A12) and has plenty of parking space. The hotel is easy to reach by public transport. Travel to Utrecht city centre takes only 10 minutes and Schiphol International Airport can be reached within 45 minutes by car or public transport. Amsterdam city centre can be reached within 45 minutes as well.
