About
In addition to being a stage for global stars, elite athletes, and major fairs, Rotterdam Ahoy also boasts a brand-new convention center: Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre (RACC). This state-of-the-art convention center features 35 halls, an impressive auditorium (RTM Stage) with 2,816 seats, beautiful foyers, and exhibition spaces. The RTM Stage can even be expanded to an XL version accommodating 4,400 people, making it the largest auditorium in the Netherlands.
Spaces
Whether for large international conferences or smaller business meetings, the RACC can be set up for any setting. Moreover, the RACC is directly connected to the Exhibition & Event Halls and the Ahoy Arena, facilitating a variety of business events. The more than 90,000 m2 of flexible spaces are equipped with the latest amenities and comprehensive catering facilities to make your meeting, gathering, or congress as enjoyable as possible.
Sustainability
Rotterdam Ahoy places a high value on sustainability. That's why we use sustainable energy sourced from the 5,200 solar panels located on the roof of RACC and RTM Stage. The shared goal is for Rotterdam to be carbon neutral by 2050. With an annual output of 1,755 MWh, the solar roof at Ahoy makes a significant contribution to the city's transition to a sustainable energy supply.
Accessibility
The RACC is easily accessible by car, bicycle, and public transportation. The convention center is conveniently located near the highway, and it's just a 5-minute walk from the Zuidplein bus and metro station. International airports such as Rotterdam The Hague Airport and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport are only 25 and 50 minutes’ drive away from the Rotterdam Ahoy Convention Centre.
