Evenementenhal Hardenberg

What Evenementenhal Hardenberg does

Evenementenhal operates two physical event venues in the Netherlands — at Hardenberg (Energieweg 2, Oost-Nederland) and Gorinchem (Franklinweg 2, Midden-Nederland) — renting exhibition halls, congress rooms, meeting rooms, outdoor lounges, and specialized spaces (including a ship-themed bar and black box theater) to event organizers. The company serves six primary customer segments: corporate event organizers, trade show/exhibition organizers, congress and conference organizers, music event organizers, meeting planners, and social/community event organizers. Beyond venue rental, Evenementenhal owns and operates recurring branded events including Trendz (a twice-yearly fashion and home trade show), Garden Preview, and music festivals such as Legends of Rock and The Dirty Daddies.

The underlying technology is physical infrastructure: configurable indoor and outdoor spaces with on-site parking, supported by a website featuring a searchable event calendar and venue catalog with filters by date, category, capacity, and location. The company maintains dedicated event management teams at each venue — Linda de Boer leads events at Hardenberg and Nicole Stuijk leads events at Gorinchem — providing a single point of contact from initial inquiry through event execution. Evenementenhal is a subsidiary of Easyfairs Group, a multinational events and exhibition company headquartered in the Netherlands, and the Easyfairs branding is present across the venue's digital assets.

The revenue model is quote-based venue rental supplemented by owned event operations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by event type, duration, space selected, and specific client requirements; customers must contact the venue directly for quotes. The company reports a 9.2/10 customer satisfaction rating. Distribution is entirely direct — no intermediaries or resellers — with the website serving as the primary top-of-funnel channel and direct phone/email contact with event managers closing bookings.
