1 BEURS VAN BERLAGE During the 17 th -century Dutch Golden Age, Amsterdam became the first city in the world to establish its own permanent stock exchange. Here, shares were traded in the world's first public limited company: the Dutch East India Company. Three hundred years later, architect Berlage was commissioned to build Amsterdam's third stock exchange building. A controversial structure at the time, today this building is regarded as ushering in the era of modern Dutch architecture. Today, the Beurs van Berlage offers 25 rooms totalling 5,500 m 2 in floor area. Large number of parallel spaces available, equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual and lighting facilities High-speed fibre-optic internet available (WiFi or cable)

3 RESTAURANT DE KAS De Kas restaurant & nursery is located in a set of greenhouses wich date back to 1926 and used to belong to the Amsterdam Municipal Nursery. In 2001, top chef Gert Jan Hageman, who had earned a Michelin star in Dutch haute cuisine, found a new direction for his own career and a new purpose for the old greenhouse that was due to be demolished. With a lot of luck and help from the municipality and his family and friends, Hageman succeeded in converting the unique 8-metre high glass building into a restaurant and nursery. De Kas has its own greenhouses and garden near the restaurant, where they grow vegetables, herbs and edible flowers and also have a large field about 10 kilometres from Amsterdam in the Beemster region, where they grow seasonal vegetables outdoors. The restaurant can accommodate up to 140 guests for lunch or dinner in our 8-metre high main greenhouse and also has a separate Garden Room for private gatherings. On fine summer days, lunches and pre-dinner drinks are served outside on the patio in the herb garden. De Kas we offers various options for meetings, seminars, family dinners or festive lunches for groups ranging from 20 to 200 persons in private rooms with wireless internet and - if necessary audiovisual equipment.
