The Hague partners to become centre of excellence for event design

The Hague Convention Bureau says it is working on a new partnership with Event Design Collective and the newly opened Postillion Hotel and Convention Centre Den Haag to offer event design training and support. Event Design Collective at the Postillion Hotel and Convention Centre Den Haag will deliver the training in person and online. The initiative was announced at IMEX in Frankfurt, Germany, 31 May. The Hague Convention Bureau is offering a client package using the Event Canvas methodology created by Event Design Collective. It includes a 90-minute interactive educational experience which promotes thinking differently about the outcomes of events. The idea is to provide tools to ensure that events are created that deliver the maximum value to all involved. Bas Schot, head of The Hague Convention Bureau commented: “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.” Postillion Hotel and Convention Centre Den Haag’s CEO, Erik-Jan Ginjaar added: “We wanted to launch a unique and inspiring meeting destination in the heart of The Hague. At the core of our offering is the desire to deliver a space that ensures meetings are truly successful, which is why we developed both our Brain Break and Brainfood concepts. However, it was our decision to create only the world’s second Event Design Lab that truly sets us apart.” The project’s first in-person Event Design training session took place at IMEX Frankfurt, Germany, attended by a range of organisers and event buyers.
