New director of conventions appointed at Rotterdam Ahoy

Karin Segers (pictured) will join the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre team as director of conventions, starting 1 May. She will be following in the footsteps of Mirjam van de Kamp, who will be departing 1 July for a personal adventure.  Segers is currently the segment leader for MICE at 35 NH hotels in The Netherlands. In her new role, she will be responsible for further establishing brand awareness for the Convention Centre, both nationally and internationally, and will lead the team of sales managers. She said: “I’m thrilled to embark on this exciting journey at Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre, where my hometown pride meets professional passion! Excited to collaborate with the dynamic team, connect with customers and the wonderful Rotterdam community. Can’t wait to continue and expand the fantastic base that Mirjam has built with the team.” Outgoing director, Mirjam Van de Kamp said: “With a heavy heart, I will be leaving Rotterdam Ahoy this summer, but for a special reason: we are embarking on a journey with our family, sailing towards sunny destinations to give our lives a different meaning for an indefinite period.” In 2020, the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre (RACC) opened its doors. With 35 rooms, a state-of-the-art auditorium (RTM Stage), foyers and exhibition spaces, the centre can host conferences, corporate events and exhibitions on both national and international scales. The auditorium can accommodate up to 4,400 people, and is also used as a music venue for an audience of 7,842 people. More information: www.ahoy.nl/en/business
