The Hague Convention Bureau is working in partnership with Event
Design Collective and the newly- opened Postillion Hotel and Convention Centre
Den Haag to establish itself as a global leader in the field of event design.
Through the partnership, organisers booking The Hague for conferences
will have access to Event Design training and support from Event Design
Collective at the Postillion Hotel and Convention Centre Den Haag or online.
The initiative was announced today at IMEX in Frankfurt, Germany.
The Hague Convention Bureau has created an exclusive package for
clients using the Event Canvas methodology created by Event Design Collective.
The package includes a 90‐minute interactive educational experience with
members of the Event Design Collective to help clients plan and think differently
about the outcomes of their events. The process and content will provide the
tools to ensure that they are creating events that deliver the maximum value to
all involved.
The training will be delivered online or in‐person to the clients. In
person training will take place in the Postillion Hotel and Convention Centre
Den Haag, which boasts the only Event Design Lab in Europe (only the second in the world outside of the USA).
Partnerships like this represent the future of destination, venue and organiser relationships.
Bas Schot
Head of The Hague Convention Bureau
For those receiving online training, a branded online environment,
reflecting the look and feel of The Hague has been created to engage the
attendees and make the experience immersive.
Bas Schot, head of The Hague Convention Bureau, said: “Partnerships like this represent the future of destination, venue and organiser
relationships. We are continually looking for new ways to support and inform
our clients, helping them make their events truly successful for all involved
and the commitment from both Event Design Collective and Postillion Hotel and
Convention Centre Den Haag is making the future a reality now, here in The
Hague.”
“Event Design is a uniquely powerful approach to systematically
deconstructing and reconstructing the successes and failures of an event with a team of invested people,”
added Roel Frissen from Event Design Collective. “When done right, using the Event Canvas, it can
transform an event for all stakeholders, which is why we want to see more people using the
process. Events are powerful tools, which we are truly passionate about – we want to make them even
better, which is why we are so excited about this partnership and its potential to improve
association events taking place in The Hague.”
