The Venue
Hotel Van der Valk Maastricht supports exactly that: professional conference facilities, comfortable accommodation, and inviting spaces for conversation in between.
The Auditorium
The largest room, de Apostelhoeve, gives us a strong central space for shared sessions. Directly located beside is the bar >
The Coffee Bar
Need a break? Coffee? Refreshments? Just one door behind the Auditorium you can restore and replenish. With access to the garden.
The Garden
Clear your head, jot down some notes or plan the next step. If you need some peace, you can find it here. And then, on to Saal Martinus.
Saal Martinus
With space for up to 150, this room allows larger talks without feeling cramped. Smaller audiences will watch the next talk in Steineberg.
Saal Steineberg
Up to 80 listeners can comfortably find room in our third and smallest venue. Once you have seen some talks, you might need some food.
Lunch Buffet
Close to the Auditorium is the Lunch Buffet. Not having to order ensures that nobody will go hungry into the afternoon! And if you need rest…
Rooms at the Hotel
And if you want a place to retreat, you can book your room at the hotel as well.

A venue designed for connection
At the center of the venue is the Auditorium, our largest conference room and a natural gathering point for the week.
What makes it especially attractive is everything around it: the attached bar creates an easy place to continue conversations after sessions, and the direct access to the garden adds space, light, and a more relaxed rhythm to the day.
Together with the two additional conference rooms, the venue gives us a strong setting for talks, side sessions, focused discussions, and spontaneous meetings.
Stay where the conference happens
Guests who want the most convenient conference experience can stay directly at Hotel Van der Valk Maastricht.
The hotel offers wonderful rooms and keeps everything close at hand: the conference spaces, the shared breaks, the evening conversations, and the chance to step away and recharge without leaving the venue.
For many attendees, that makes the week simpler, calmer, and more comfortable.
Easy access to Maastricht
The venue also makes it easy to enjoy the city beyond the conference program.
- Rent a bicycle and explore Maastricht at your own pace
- Use the regular bus connection to reach the city center easily
Whether you stay mostly on site or want to spend time in town after the sessions, getting around is straightforward.
