RTL Group sends invitation to Management Congress 2014
More than 260 managers from the RTL group’s worldwide units met in Amsterdam on the occasion of the Management Congress 2014. The in-house film studio in Hilversum Media Park, RTL Nederland’s Studio 21, was the location of the congress. But for the following evening, the media group selected a place with a maritime atmosphere: the National Shipping Museum.
Frank Geurink managed the event logistics of this very same event for his customers Adriaanse/van Kuyk Brand Events on the part of Party Rent Arnheim. He describes the project’s specific features below.
What makes the museum a unique venue?
“The fully renovated heritage buildings of the shipping museum have a good number of rooms that are very suitable for events. Particularly impressive, however, is the ‘Open Pleyn’, the glass-covered inner courtyard which features unique architecture from the year 1656.”
How has the location influenced the choice of furniture used?
“To a great extent, of course. The inner courtyard is large and open – but only one setting in light, natural colours was considered for dinner: The white table ‘Toscane’ is discreet but stylish thanks to its slightly-curved legs, and our ‘Nancy’ chair brings the required modernity to the table. As a Dutchman, I naturally place great emphasis on a fancy floral decoration. Its effect should not be underestimated – even more so if the flowers are from Holland.
The bar was also set up in an easy and casual manner. For the first time, I was able to use our new bar stool, ‘Cato’, which was the best match for our concept.”
