General Overview
World Forum is a full service convention centre with 50 years of experience in organizing events. The unique combination of a multifunctional auditorium, 35 breakout rooms and 12.000 square meter of exhibition space. With endless possibilities for customizing an event,
the venue can be completely transformed according to our client’s needs. 

Location
World Forum is located between the coastline and the city centre of the Hague, the administrative capital of the Netherlands. Only 30 min drive from two international airports, and with excellent train connections to major European cities like Brussels, Paris, London, and Frankfurt, the Hague is one of the most accessible regions in Europe.

Design
World Forum was designed by architect Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud in the style of Dutch functionalism, which was ultramodern in the 1960s. Officially opened in 1969, the building was originally known as ‘het Nederlands Congresgebouw’

Meeting Space
World Forum is a compact venue with all the meeting rooms situated around the central heart of the building: the Atrium. On the ground floor, a new Expo Foyer with a total of 17.500 rentable square meters, gives an open and bright ambiance working as a networking
space. Then, King Willem Alexander can accommodate up to 2161 delegates. Different capacities make it easier to create more intimate spaces.

Accommodation
World Forum forms part of the Convention Dot; a partnership between Novotel World Forum, Marriott The Hague, Leonardo Royal Hotel, and De Plesman Hotel which offer more than 750 hotel rooms within 5-minute walking distance.

Experience
World Forum The Hague is a venue with endless possibilities and over fifty years of experience in hosting events of all kinds. Throughout both the planning process and the events themselves, we are guided by four core pillars: Safety & Security, Vitality, Sustainability, and Education.

We are recognized leaders in Safety & Security, continually investing in measures that ensure a safe environment for all. We actively promote Vitality for our team and guests, our strong commitment to Sustainability is reflected in every aspect of our operations and do everything we can to transfer our knowledge and always invest in educational projects.

This is a multipurpose venue which hosts conferences, exhibitions, cultural shows 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.
