Organizing an event at KIT

KIT offers stylish accommodations for single or multiple-day conferences, symposiums, meetings and receptions. The KIT building, an Amsterdam landmark built in neo-renaissance style, is also a favourite location for weddings.

The traditionally furnished halls and rooms can be used individually or in combination. Before an event, we discuss with the client about which rooms and services will best suit their specific requirements.

Technical facilities
All rooms are equipped with modern conference facilities, professional audiovisual and ICT equipment. Technical support is available.

Hotel
Situated next door to KIT, the 80-room NH Tropenhotel offers comfortable and convenient overnight accommodation.

Tours
Group visits to the Tropenmuseum and tours of the KIT building can also be arranged.
