In just two weeks, we will be standing together on Dutch soil.

We cannot wait to meet the new faces and discover the new companies that have joined the IFES family over the past while – the World Summit is an unmissable opportunity to forge new relationships with like-minded colleagues and catch up on those long-missed familiar faces that make up our support network across the globe. There are still rooms available at the NH Amsterdam Hotel, but the city has a range of exquisite accommodation elsewhere as well.

There will be opportunities for knowledge exchange for brainstorming and for reconnecting during the days, but it’s not all work, as we will sample the delectable home-brewed beers at the Bierfabriek, reminisce over cocktails and rewind to the 80’s at the Exhibition Lovers Party at the Felix Meritus.

Vibrant Amsterdam has so much to offer. Find a few hours to hire a bike and cruise along Amsterdam’s picturesque network of cycle routes, shop til you drop in the artsy nearby neighborhood of De 9 Straatjes (The 9 Streets) and visit the cultural beating heart of Museum Plein, home to the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum and The Royal Concertgebouw, Museumplein is the cultural beating heart of Amsterdam.

See you there!
