In May 2023, the Utrecht Congress Alliance was established, a collaboration between parties including the municipality and province of Utrecht, Utrecht Marketing, Utrecht University, Utrecht hoteliers and Jaarbeurs. This alliance joins forces to attract international congresses to the city in line with the positioning 'Utrecht, Heart of Health'. Some examples of recent successful congresses include the WHO European Healthy Cities Network congress and the Future Green City World Congress. In May 2025, we will open our doors for the International Forum on Quality and Safety in Healthcare, bringing together healthcare professionals from all over the world.
Niek Krebbers, head of sales guest events Jaarbeurs: "Through our participation in the alliance, we can offer more than just our venue. Think, for example, of involving a professor or professor from the university, or arranging perfect accommodation in our historic city during a conference."
What sets Jaarbeurs apart is our unique location: by both train and car, we are at the largest transport hub in the country. In addition, we can also be reached within half an hour from Schiphol International Airport. This combined with our more than 105 years of experience, combined with personal attention, makes Jaarbeurs a strong international location.
Do you have plans or ideas to organise an international event? Let us know and we would love to explore with you.
