Act Eventstudios

What Act Eventstudios does

Act Eventstudios is a privately held event-venue operator headquartered in Arnhem, Netherlands, co-owned by Cas van Horck and Robert van den Tooren. The company operates a modern-industrial event campus on Cleantech Park Arnhem (formerly Industriepark Kleefse Waard), comprising three Eventzalen (Eventzaal 1 at 400–600 seats and 520 m², Eventzaal 2 at 120 seats and 210 m², Eventzaal 3 at 50–100 seats and 160 m²), the Connectr Plein foyer (capacity 750, 590 m²), and three Vergaderzalen meeting rooms, supported by six on-site breakout rooms. The physical plant was developed from a former factory hall and retains industrial character augmented with sustainable infrastructure including 25,000+ on-site solar panels and bio-heat connection.

The core offering is event-space rental for 4 to 750 attendees across corporate events, congresses, product launches, galas, hybrid meetings and government functions, sold on a custom-quote basis via a direct sales team (Sales & Accountmanager Brit van der Star; Eventmanagers Sophie Schuring and Lianne Overgoor). The venue is differentiated by two embedded service partnerships: Dutch AV as the fixed in-house audiovisual technology partner providing LED walls, professional sound, lighting, microphones and livestream production, and KickStart Food as the exclusive in-house caterer providing sustainable, locally sourced menus with a social-employment mission. Distribution is direct (phone, email, website contact form) and event-driven, with high-profile hosted events (Koningin Máxima visit, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ambassadeursconferentie, European Transplant Games 2026 gala, Volvo Trucks launch, Arnhem Electricity Week) functioning as marketing showcases that have driven first-year throughput of 211 events, 15,659 visitors and 202 clients in 2024.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Postillion Hotels: Dutch hotel chain with extensive conference and meeting facilities across multiple locations. Overlaps with Act Eventstudios' Vergaderzalen and smaller corporate meetings business, though typically bundled with hotel room blocks.
• Jaarbeurs Utrecht: Large Utrecht-based convention complex hosting trade shows, congresses, and corporate events across multiple halls. Overlaps with Act Eventstudios in congress and corporate-event use cases but competes in a different scale and venue category.
• Van der Valk Hotels: Major Dutch hotel group with large conference and banqueting facilities nationwide. Competes for the same Dutch B2B meetings and events market as Act Eventstudios but distributes capacity across many locations and bundles with overnight stays.
• Krasnapolsky / NHOW Event Spaces: Hotel-based event and meeting venues in major Dutch cities, often targeting creative and corporate clients. Comparable at the smaller-scale meeting-room and corporate-event tier but lacks the industrial-aesthetic differentiation Act Eventstudios offers.
• Amsterdam RAI: Major Dutch convention center hosting large-scale trade fairs, congresses, and corporate events. Comparable in conference and congress hosting but operates at substantially larger scale and serves a broader event portfolio than Act Eventstudios.

Direct peers

• Pakhuis de Zwijger: Amsterdam-based industrial venue for cultural, business, and innovation events with a strong sustainability and innovation focus. Comparable in industrial character, B2B program mix, and emphasis on connecting event content to forward-looking themes.
• Taets Art and Event Park: Large industrial event venue on the Hembrug terrain near Amsterdam, hosting corporate events, product launches, and galas. Directly comparable as an industrial-aesthetic, multi-hall Dutch event venue targeting similar B2B and creative-event clients.
• Beurs van Berlage: Iconic Amsterdam event and conference venue housed in a historic building, hosting corporate conferences, galas, and product launches. Comparable as a premium Dutch venue operator serving the same B2B corporate and government client base as Act Eventstudios.
• Gooiland Hilversum: Monumental event venue in Hilversum used for conferences, award shows, and corporate gatherings. Comparable as a Dutch regional venue hosting multi-day B2B events of similar scale to Act Eventstudios' mid-to-large hall bookings.

Emerging players

• The Colour Kitchen: Dutch event and hospitality concept combining catering with social-impact employment, similar to KickStart Food's model. Partially comparable via its event-catering and venue-hybrid positioning in the Dutch B2B market.
