From congress to community: creating meaningful local impact with SIOP 2025
11 December 2025

Amsterdam Convention Bureau (ACB) has renewed several strategic partnerships with leading conference venues in the city for 2026, reinforcing Amsterdam’s position as an international destination for business events.
The continued collaborations with RAI Amsterdam, Beurs van Berlage and Postillion Hotel Amsterdam reflect a shared focus on attracting international meetings that contribute to the city’s innovation landscape and broader ambitions.
Through these partnerships, ACB works closely with venue partners and event organisers to support conferences from bid phase through to delivery. This includes coordinated support, local connections, and initiatives that help events engage with Amsterdam beyond the conference programme itself.
As Dennis Speet, Amsterdam Convention Bureau, explains:
“We do things a bit differently here. We offer congresses meaningful connections and co-create events that leave a positive footprint for the city.”
By renewing these strategic partnerships, ACB strengthens its role in linking international business events with Amsterdam’s networks, knowledge sectors and communities. The aim is not only to host successful conferences, but to ensure they create lasting value for organisers, participants and the city.
