Why Apeldoorn is a great choice for business events

Apeldoorn is the perfect destination for events that aim to combine tranquility, open spaces, and nature with professional content. Management retreats, strategy sessions with an outdoor component, team-building days featuring outdoor activities, or exclusive client events on a country estate.

The city’s regal charm also makes it an ideal setting for galas and anniversary celebrations that call for a stately atmosphere. And the modern hotel complexes and conference centers in and around Apeldoorn offer excellent facilities for multi-day events.

Consider a team-building day in the Veluwe, a client event at a forest estate, or a conference at a modern hotel with a view of the woods. See also: Developing an event concept.

Apeldoorn and the surrounding area boast unique venues. Paleis Het Loo is available for exclusive events—a royal setting that few other cities can offer. Various estates in the Veluwe region provide wooded settings for intimate events and retreats.

Apenheul is available for hire for special corporate events. The Berg en Bos area offers outdoor space close to the city. For conferences, there are modern hotels with conference centers, such as the Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn and the Bilderberg Hotel De Keizerskroon.

Apeldoorn is also home to the Orpheus Theater, which is suitable for plenary sessions and theatrical performances. The variety of venues—ranging from a forest estate to a modern hotel to a palace garden—makes Apeldoorn suitable for every budget and event format. Read: Find an event venue.

Apeldoorn has an intercity train station with connections to Utrecht (50 min), Arnhem (25 min), and Zwolle (30 min). The A1 and A50 highways make the city accessible from the Randstad and the eastern Netherlands.

Parking is not a problem in Apeldoorn. The city center has more than enough parking spaces, and the estates and hotel locations outside the city center have large private parking lots. This is a major advantage for events with many guests arriving by car.

When organizing an event in Apeldoorn at a forest location: make sure to provide clear directions. GPS doesn’t always work well on remote estates. Live Impact always coordinates clear directions for guests as part of the event preparation.

Apeldoorn and the Veluwe region offer attractive prices. Country estates and hotel complexes provide excellent value for money. Exclusive venues such as palace gardens command higher rates, but are rarely found in other cities.
