Why is Friesland an excellent choice for your congres?

Red carpet

A number of things are important for your conference and we have listed them for you. Not necessarily in order of importance, as that is up to you to decide. But the biggest advantages Fryslân has to offer you as a unique conference location:

Accessibility

From Schiphol Airport, you can be in our Frisian capital within an hour and a half. Within all of Fryslân, the infrastructure is good, both in terms of roads and public transport. So for conference visitors, Fryslân is easily and quickly accessible. City and countryside, you catch it all here.

Facilities

We have plenty of convention centres, hotels and other beautiful, sustainable, luxury accommodation. Here you will host a fantastic congress and your visitors will be welcomed hospitably. Another big advantage: venues, hotels and car parks and car parks are considerably cheaper here than in the Randstad.

Innovation & technology

Fryslân leads the way in sustainability & circularity and in the fields of water technology, sports and sustainable agriculture/agro-food, innovations are invented here that are deployed worldwide. We also conduct research here in collaboration with professors from all over Europe. Experience the innovations. See the innovations. Talk to researchers and entrepreneurs. Immerse yourself in our progressive view of the world.

Hospitality and local collaboration

Frisians are hospitable and helpful. They are the happiest Dutch people and you can feel that ‘happy vibe’. You are welcome here. Local authorities, entrepreneurs and residents are always willing to help you and think with you.

Sustainability

Fryslân is a sustainable destination. We are actively engaged in the SDG's here. There are plenty of sustainable locations and sustainable entrepreneurship is very common here. With Vereniging Circulair Friesland and the Province as major boosters, we invest in sustainability, circularity and a green, healthy future for Fryslân and the rest of the world. We don't just talk about it, we do it.

Sport, art and culture

Your conference visitors can enjoy fantastic activities here. Mud flat walking, a visit to the Woudagemaal, the planetarium, a historic city walk, a visit to the Fries Museum or one of the other dozens of museums, sailing, ice skating, fierljeppen or playing 'kaatsen': you will experience it here.
