When it comes to organizing large corporate festivals, the right event package can transform a gathering into an unforgettable experience that inspires, connects, and energizes your team. At UP Events, we specialize in crafting event packages best suited for large corporate festivals, blending creativity, seamless logistics, and measurable impact. Here’s what you need to know to create a standout corporate festival in the Netherlands.

Why Event Packages Matter for Large Corporate Festivals

Corporate festivals are more than just parties — they’re strategic opportunities to foster collaboration, celebrate achievements, and reinforce company culture. According to recent industry surveys, over 80% of corporate event planners cite attendee engagement and networking as the top success factors for large-scale events. With the renewed demand for in-person experiences, companies are seeking packages that deliver immersive, personalized, and sustainable experiences.

Key Trends Shaping Corporate Festival Packages

Personalization & Data-Driven Experiences

Modern event packages leverage attendee data to tailor activities, content, and networking opportunities. This approach results in higher engagement and satisfaction, as participants feel the event is designed just for them. At UP Events, we use real-time data tracking and feedback tools to adjust programming on the fly, ensuring every guest is engaged.

Hybrid & In-Person Focus

While virtual elements remain relevant, 70% of Dutch companies now prefer in-person or hybrid events for large gatherings. Our venues in Amsterdam West and Weesp offer flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, making them ideal for both traditional and hybrid formats.

Sustainability

Sustainability is no longer optional — 60% of organizations in Europe cite it as a key decision factor. Our event packages include eco-friendly catering, waste reduction strategies, and green transportation options, all in line with Dutch government guidelines and corporate social responsibility goals.

Technology Integration

From event apps to contactless check-in and augmented reality experiences, technology is central to modern event management. We integrate the latest tools to streamline logistics, enhance engagement, and provide measurable ROI.

Logistical Considerations for Large-Scale Events

Venue Selection

Choosing the right venue is crucial. Our Amsterdam West location offers 45,000 m² of private event space, accommodating up to 5,000 participants with both indoor and outdoor facilities. Our Weesp location provides additional flexibility for group sizes and activities. Both venues are easily accessible and fully compliant with Dutch safety and accessibility regulations.

Permits & Compliance

Large events in the Netherlands must adhere to strict government guidelines on crowd management, health and safety, and environmental impact. We handle all necessary permits and ensure your event meets the latest standards, including digital ticketing, contactless check-in, and clear health protocols.

Resource Allocation & Contingency Planning

Efficient use of resources is key to avoiding overspending and ensuring a smooth experience. We conduct comprehensive audits of finances, manpower, and technology, and always have robust backup plans for weather, technical issues, or last-minute changes.

Best Practices for Maximizing Engagement and ROI

Set Clear, Measurable Objectives

Before your event, define what success looks like — whether it’s boosting employee morale, generating leads, or launching a new product. We help you establish KPIs and track them throughout the event.

Segmented Marketing & Early Stakeholder Engagement

Targeted campaigns based on attendee demographics and interests drive higher registration and engagement. We also secure speakers, sponsors, and partners well in advance to maximize promotional opportunities and event quality.

Real-Time Data Tracking & Post-Event Analysis

Our integrated technology allows for real-time monitoring of engagement, participation, and feedback. After the event, we provide detailed analysis to help you measure impact and refine future strategies.

• Pop-Up Innovation Labs: Temporary spaces where teams co-create solutions to real business challenges.
