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 meeting rooms situated around the central heart of the building: the Atrium. On the ground floor, a brand 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.

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.
