An unforgettable Member and Partner Programme in the Netherlands<\/strong><\/h2>\n

goMICE organises many trips and events every year, not only abroad but also in our own Netherlands. Last autumn, we received from one of our regular Business Travel clients at Uniglobe Alliance Travel<\/a><\/strong>, a wonderful application for a Business Trip to the Netherlands in combination with a partner programme.<\/p>\n

This Business Club, consisting of French and Flemish entrepreneurs, all CEOs or owners of one or more companies in the food industry, had selected the Netherlands for their annual business trip. The aim of the trip: networking combined with unique company visits. It was up to goMICE to ensure that the trip would be an unforgettable experience not only for the Business Club members, but also for their partners who would be travelling with them to the Netherlands! goMICE therefore developed two different daily programmes for this trip: a member programme and a partner programme. The evenings were spent together.<\/p>\n

A warm reunion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Club Members and their partners all arrived in the Netherlands independently, with a number of participants arriving by car, but most arriving by plane. Because various locations in the Netherlands were to be visited and to make the trip as efficient as possible, three different hotels were selected for the group during the four-day programme: a Steigenberger hotel, a Bilderberg hotel, and a Radisson Blu hotel. Because only a joint dinner was on the programme for the first day due to the staggered arrival of the participants, we selected the wonderful Steigenberger Airport hotel for this evening, featuring spacious and recently renovated rooms a stone's throw from Schiphol. The dinner took place in a private area of the hotel's cosy bistro. Although it was raining and storming outside, there was no sign of that inside; the members and their partners were glad to see each other again and enjoyed an extensive four-course dinner together. Welcome to the Netherlands!<\/p>\n

Membership programme<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The companies that were to be visited during the Business Trip had been carefully selected in advance by the Club Members themselves. As a result, alongside various meetings, several company visits in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Gelderland, Overijssel and Friesland (Friesland Campina) were planned. It was goMICE's task to schedule the visits as efficiently as possible and to ensure that the busy itinerary was maintained without delay.<\/p>\n

During trips like this, the real networking happens on the coach on the way to the company visits. It is therefore extremely important to use good, high-quality coaches. In this case, we chose a coach company we frequently work with and know that the drivers provide a high level of service and the coaches are of top quality! For this trip, we booked the Business Class coach for all days. In addition to adjustable armchairs, this coach offers various meeting tables (even a meeting table for 9 people!), ample legroom, various AV facilities and high-privacy tinted glazing. Perfect for this trip! Naturally, goMICE also selected high-end lunch restaurants for the members on all days and an interpreter was continuously present to interpret between Dutch, French and English. The members lacked nothing.<\/p>\n

For the partners of the Club Members, a completely different programme was on the cards: they discovered the Netherlands in various ways! We believe that a good guide can make or break the programme. Therefore, the very first thing we arranged was the deployment of a guide with whom we often work with great pleasure: Diana! In addition to Dutch and English, she speaks fluent French, is hugely spontaneous and enthusiastic, is in the same age group as the partners, and was able to guide and interpret all activities: the perfect match for this group.<\/p>\n

During the days, the partners enjoyed various sides of the Netherlands. For instance, they visited the impressive FloraHolland in Aalsmeer, the Open Air Museum in Arnhem and the Kr\u00f6ller-M\u00fcller Museum in Otterlo. The Kr\u00f6ller-M\u00fcller Museum was particularly well received, partly because of the delicious lunch served there. Together with Diana, the partners also discovered our capital city, Amsterdam: they visited the Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House, strolled along the Flower Market and took a wonderful boat trip on the canals. In addition, a proper Dutch pancake lunch could not be missed in the partner programme!<\/p>\n

Gala dinner at the zoo<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During the evenings, the Members and Partners dined together. The highlight was the joint gala dinner on the final evening, as this dinner took place in a truly extraordinary location: amongst the Californian sea lions at the zoo. Together with one of our regular caterers, the room was transformed into a high-end dining venue. It is already a unique experience in itself to walk through the zoo in the dark, outside of opening hours, alongside elephants, monkeys and penguins towards the dining location, which was situated at the far end of the park. After an enthusiastic greeting by the sea lions and a glass of champagne, participants enjoyed a delicious four-course dinner. During this highly successful evening, various speeches were given and there was plenty of laughter and enjoyment. A nice detail: the director of the Business Club thought the quality of the dinner was so good that he personally walked into the kitchen to bring the head chef out to the room for a round of applause. The head chef had never experienced anything like it before and accepted the applause with a big smile. A perfect end to this impressive trip within the Netherlands!<\/p>\n
