Build your Multi-Day Symposium Planner step by step
1) Set your program map
Define your session types and flow:
- Plenary sessions (keynotes, panels)
- Concurrent breakouts or workshops
- Poster or demo showcases
- Networking receptions and sponsor activations
- Quiet rooms for speakers or VIPs
Our 16 multifunctional rooms support varied formats, from focused discussions to larger gatherings. Map tracks by proximity to simplify wayfinding and transitions.
2) Match spaces to objectives
Use a simple logic:
- Place plenaries centrally to anchor daily kick-offs.
- Cluster breakouts near the plenary to reduce transfer time.
- Reserve a dedicated room for organizers and storage.
- Allocate a welcoming registration area near the main entrance.
Because the rooms are multifunctional, you can adjust layouts day to day as your program evolves.
3) Plan a cohesive catering experience
Food and timing shape attendee energy. Coordinate with:
- Restaurant De Baron for classical catering or à la carte options prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
- De Patio as an additional setting for meals or informal gatherings.
- Vergaderarrangementen to bundle meeting-room hire, catering, and equipment.
Stagger service for parallel tracks to minimize queues. Consider light, frequent breaks to keep sessions sharp.
4) Optimize accommodation for 140 four-star rooms and suites
Keep nights restful and logistics simple:
- Group speakers and VIPs near key venues for easy access.
- Share a rooming list with special notes (early arrivals, accessibility needs).
- Coordinate arrival windows with registration so guests can pick up badges as they check in.
All rooms feature a flatscreen television and complimentary Wi‑Fi, supporting prep and downtime.
5) Enhance wellbeing and networking
Hotel guests can recharge with free access to the swimming pool, sauna, and Turkish steam bath. Offer optional wellness windows before breakfast or after sessions. The surrounding Veluwe nature area invites fresh-air walks—highlight routes in your program (see the OMGEVING section online). For sun seekers, the solarium is available for an additional fee.
6) Anchor your tech and connectivity
Strong connectivity is table stakes. With complimentary Wi‑Fi in meeting halls and rooms, attendees can access schedules, Q&A tools, and shared documents. When using Vergaderarrangementen, coordinate any required equipment early and align room assignments with power and visibility needs.
7) Streamline access and movement
- Leverage free on-site parking for delegates arriving by car.
- Use clear signage to direct flows between plenaries, breakouts, dining areas, and restrooms.
- Publish a concise daily map and keep info points staffed at peak transitions.
8) Reflect your CSR commitments
If sustainability and corporate citizenship matter to your organization, review our MVO beleid (CSR policy) on the website and reflect relevant practices in your event communications.
