Compliance Summary

General overview

RAI Amsterdam is the largest Exhibition and Conference Centre in the Netherlands, with a total space of 116,200 m2, RAI Amsterdam features 13 versatile halls, as well as various large and small rooms and lounges.
 

Location

Strategically located in the Amsterdam-Zuid business district, on the outskirts of the city center, away from tourist attractions, yet easily accessible via air, public transport, and car. The proximity of the Amsterdam RAI train/metro station and Europaplein metro station enables effortless transportation. The main hall at Schiphol Airport is just a ten-minute journey away, while the heart of the Dutch capital is even closer. The RAI is a four kilometers from the city center and centraal station.

 

Design

Renowned for its state-of-the-art architecture with mainly glass and silver exterior, RAI Amsterdam is specifically designed to accommodate exhibitions, congresses, and events of various sizes..

 

Meeting Space

The venue comprises three interconnected conference centers, featuring 13 multi-functional halls and 70 conference and meeting rooms. Access to these halls and rooms is facilitated through multiple private entrances which allows for more than one event to take place at the same time.

 

Bedrooms

Whilst the venue does not have any bedrooms, the adjacent Nhow Hotel RAI Amsterdam has 650 rooms. For additional accommodation needs, RAI Hotel Services, the largest accommodation broker in Amsterdam, provides comprehensive services.

 

Experience

RAI Amsterdam provides a comprehensive range of event-related services, including RAI Hotel Services, Exhibition Management, Exhibitor Services, IT, Catering, and trusted preferred partner services. Within the venue complex, delegates can enjoy two on-site restaurants exclusively for venue visitors, as well as two public restaurants.

Notable events in the Life, Science, and Health industry hosted at RAI Amsterdam include the Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis, ESC congress, and Alzheimer’s Association International Conference. Furthermore, in 2024, RAI Amsterdam will be hosting the inaugural edition of HLTH Europe.

RAI Amsterdam is healthcare sector aware and supports the Amsterdam Life Sciences and Health network. Amsterdam Convention Bureau can connect you with partners and the City of Amsterdam to create value, share innovation and make a resounding impact that contributes to every event mission.


The Dutch Life, Science, and Health sector thrive on innovation and collaboration, characterized by exceptional hubs and clusters supported by world-class physical and digital infrastructure. The Dutch strategy aims to demonstrate the harmonious coexistence of scientific excellence, affordable healthcare for patients, and sustainable economic activity. Through a "quadruple helix" approach, which brings together knowledge institutions, industry, government, and citizens, sustainable and forward-thinking solutions are pursued. With over 3,000 innovative LSH companies, 400+ biopharmaceutical companies, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and thousands of MedTech companies, all within a 2.5-hour radius, the Netherlands boasts one of the most concentrated LSH clusters worldwide.

Compliance Hotspot

This is a multipurpose venue which hosts conferences, exhibitions, concerts and other pay to enter leisure entertainment events. This will be reflected in sales and marketing messaging and in our opinion should not distract bookers looking to use the venue for healthcare meetings and events.
