    Rotterdam Ahoy 
    Since 1971, Rotterdam Ahoy has been a unique event venue in the Netherlands given its multifunctionality. The Ahoy Arena is mainly used for major concerts, sports tournaments, family shows and conferences and the Fairs & Event halls, varying between 3,000 m2 and 30,000 m2, for exhibitions and corporate parties, among other things.

    In 2020, the doors of the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre (RACC) and RTM Stage (concert hall and auditorium/theatre) opened. RTM Stage is not only the largest auditorium and the largest theatre in the Netherlands (capacity 2,800) but, when the seats are completely removed, it becomes a music hall for concerts and events for up to 7,800 people. This makes RTM Stage unique in the Netherlands in terms of both congresses, theatres and concerts. The RACC has 35 meeting rooms and beautiful and spacious foyers. With the smallest rooms perfect for small conferences, meetings and presentations, Ahoy is not purely the place for large conferences but also offers space for small-scale events. The spaces vary in size
    (50 to 2,800 people).

    Rotterdam Ahoy offers space for business, communication and entertainment. We regard Ahoy as the stage for positive experiences where fun, creativity, development and success are central. Our highest goal: from satisfied visitors and business relations to ‘ambassadors’ of our brand, thus offering real enrichment and guaranteeing continuity and sustainable growth in a world-class venue.
