More than a conference venue
Beurs van Berlage hosts international conferences and events. These activities enable us to preserve this historic monument and pass it on to future generations. At the same time, we believe that a special place like Beurs van Berlage also carries a social responsibility.
As a national monument in the heart of Amsterdam, we feel a responsibility towards the city, its residents and future generations. That is why we actively support initiatives that contribute to connection, inclusion and knowledge sharing.
We therefore ask ourselves one simple question:
What impact do we make today, and what do we leave behind for tomorrow?

How we create impact
Social impact does not happen by itself. That is why we have chosen to focus our efforts on three areas where we can truly make a difference as an organisation:
1. Charitable causes
2. For the city
3. Stories at the Beurs
1. Charitable causes
2. For the city
3. Stories at the Beurs

Charitable causes
Creating impact together by actively supporting one charitable cause each year.
For the city
Giving back to Amsterdam through local initiatives, talent development and community engagement.
Verhalen in de Beurs
Providing a stage for knowledge, inspiration and meaningful encounters.
Charitable causes
Each year, we partner with one charitable organisation that aligns with our values and ambitions. We consciously choose a long-term collaboration that lasts throughout the year.
We support this organisation not only financially, but also by making our venue, network and people available. We do this through events, volunteering initiatives, fundraising activities and communication campaigns that help increase awareness and visibility.
In 2026, we support the ItsME Foundation, which is dedicated to raising awareness and supporting scientific research into meningitis and encephalitis.

For the city
Amsterdam has given us a great deal. We believe it is important to give something back.
We support initiatives that contribute to an inclusive, connected and future-proof city. We do this by making our venue available, collaborating with social organisations and creating opportunities for the people of Amsterdam.
Examples include our participation in the Amsterdam Internship Pact, our involvement in Iconen of the City and our annual Open Day.

Stories at the Beurs
We believe that sharing knowledge helps people move forward.
That is why we regularly open our doors for educational programmes, lectures, inspiring talks and social initiatives. We bring together young people, professionals, residents and organisations around topics that matter.
In this way, Beurs van Berlage remains not only a monument of the past, but also a place for the future.

Creating impact together
Our social mission is never complete. Every year, we continue to look for new ways to make a positive contribution to Amsterdam and society.
We do this together with our employees, clients, partners, visitors and social organisations. Because when people come together, the greatest impact is created.
