Where is the venue?

The main three events will take over the former yard of the Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij (RDM). Uniquely located in the middle of the port and conveniently right next to Rotterdam city, the RDM is easily accessible from the city centre. The impressive space features a huge glass window that looks on to the river and the passing ships of Europe’s biggest port. Boat-parties (to be announced) will collect from the city and drop off at the venue. There is also water taxis from stops all around Rotterdam to take you directly to the venue. Other events around the city will be announced in due course.

What is Rotterdam like?
