The core activities of de Doelen are presenting live music and facilitating meetings. In this combination of concerts and congresses, de Doelen is by far the largest in the Netherlands. An exciting, dynamic company at the intersection of culture and business.
With over 30 rooms, de Doelen is a popular location for high-profile international events and conferences, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Enriching and inspiring people by bringing them together in a hospitable environment to share music and knowledge is one of de Doelen’s spearheads. De Doelen also wants to play an essential role in the lives of Rotterdam residents. Nationally and internationally, de Doelen wants to fulfil a mobilising, inspiring and facilitating pivotal role as a concert and conference centre.
All events that take place in de Doelen are professionally supervised. With our years of experience in the field of event organisation, we like to act as a partner who moves along and thinks along in order to optimally realise the objective of a meeting. Choosing de Doelen means choosing professionalism.
De Doelen is easily accessible by public transport due to its location opposite Central Station. There is a direct train connection to almost all major cities in the Netherlands. A variety of hotels and restaurants are within walking distance.
We understand better than anyone that participants sacrifice their valuable time to attend a meeting. We therefore find it important that expectations are exceeded by connecting, enriching and relieving worries. With a professional and personal service, we ensure that everyone feels very welcome by offering a high level of hospitality.
The atmospheric chandeliers create a unique ambiance in our foyers, making them ideal for meeting and networking. The foyers are directly connected to the plenary rooms and offer a magnificent view of the bustling city.
