Venue & Travel

Conference Venue

The Conference will take place at the Maritim Hotel Amsterdam, located at Bercylaan 307, 1031 KP Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Central Location

Known as the Overhoeks district, the lively quarter in northern Amsterdam will soon be home to the city's largest hotel and new addition to Maritim's expanding portfolio. Towering 34 stories into Amsterdam's skyline, the iconic building on the "IJ Waterfront" will boast a total area of 52,000 sqm and 579 hotel rooms and suites. The city's old town center, Overhoeks Park, the harbor, and Schiphol Airport are all quickly reachable thanks to the new building's central location and excellent access to transportation infrastructure.
