Sometimes a single day’s meeting isn’t enough. Perhaps you want to make real progress, or you have several meetings back-to-back. Do you want to develop your strategy in peace and quiet, collaborate intensively or work on team building? If so, a combination of meetings and overnight stays might just be the solution.
In Utrecht, the Jaarbeurs MeetUp conference centre offers everything you need for a successful multi-day event. It’s in a prime central location, easily accessible and offers plenty of options for unique, luxurious and sustainable meetings and accommodation.
Why combine a meeting with an overnight stay?
Combining a meeting with an overnight stay gives your participants peace of mind. This helps them stay focused. After all, the pressure of the clock is gone, creating space for more in-depth discussion. They no longer need to be home in time for dinner, the children or another appointment. Teams grow closer and conversations become more personal and productive.
Holding meetings and staying overnight is ideal when you:
- Want to draw up strategic plans without time pressure
- Organising intensive sessions or away days
- Promotes team building and team development
- Bringing together colleagues from different cities
- Want to foster new ideas outside the office walls?
As participants are staying overnight, you don’t need to factor in travel times or traffic jams. This means peace of mind both in the programme and in your mind. What’s more, an informal evening setting often encourages more open discussions – a level of openness that is less likely to arise during the day.
Meetings and overnight stays for team-building
Dining together, chatting over a drink and starting the next morning feeling refreshed: sounds rather cosy, doesn’t it? And it’s good to know that it strengthens bonds between colleagues. Informal moments foster greater trust, better collaboration and renewed energy within the team. That’s why meetings and overnight stays combined with team-building activities are becoming increasingly popular with organisations keen to invest in their people.
Unique, luxurious and sustainable meetings and accommodation
More and more organisations are looking for unique meeting experiences. Put simply: they no longer want a run-of-the-mill meeting room. And that makes perfect sense! After all, why settle for the standard when you can choose an inspiring setting that stimulates creativity? At Jaarbeurs , you’re certainly spoilt for choice.
At Jaarbeurs MeetUp, you’ll find:
- Modern meeting rooms with plenty of natural light
- Comfortable hotel rooms within walking distance
- Culinary packages
- Sustainable catering
This is how you can combine luxury meetings and accommodation with responsible business practices. A welcome prospect for organisations that prioritise sustainability.

And we haven’t even mentioned the location yet: right next to Utrecht Central Station. Perfect if your teams are spread across the Netherlands, or if you’d like people to travel by train. Anyone choosing to hold meetings and stay overnight in the central Netherlands is, of course, choosing convenience and accessibility.
Larger rooms for multi-day meetings
Are you organising a large event spanning several days? If so, you might also be interested in combining our meeting rooms with, for example, our event venues such as Media Plaza or Supernova. This is ideal for a combined conference featuring meetings or breakout sessions, as everything is within walking distance of one another.
