A wonderful new addition to YOIN excellent meeting places: The Dutch Open Air Museum in Arnhem has officially been certified as an excellent venue for business meetings and conferences. It may not be the first location that comes to mind when considering meeting venues, but it certainly deserves a place on that list.
The national museum in Arnhem, offering fascinating insights into the history of everyday life in the Netherlands, provides a unique backdrop for a wide variety of business events. Meetings take place in one of the museum's historic buildings, all equipped with modern facilities and comforts. Even more importantly, hospitality and quality are deeply embedded in the organisation's DNA—whether welcoming museum visitors or business guests. According to our auditor, Bianca Cuperus, this is evident throughout the venue: "The Dutch Open Air Museum truly surprised me as an auditor. Behind the museum's unique setting is an organisation that takes the quality of the meeting experience seriously—from technology and climate control to inclusivity and sustainability. It is an inspiring place where bringing people together is genuinely at the heart of everything they do."
Yesterday, Paul van Zeist, Head of Hospitality & Sales, proudly received the YOIN plaque from auditor Bianca Cuperus and YOIN Coordinator Gerbrig Reitsma. "The audit was thorough and gave me valuable new insights in several areas, which we can now incorporate into an upcoming renovation. In particular, the conversation with Bianca—during which she highlighted the importance of various technical and facility-related aspects from the perspective of business guests—made the audit a truly worthwhile experience."
Welcome to the YOIN family, The Dutch Open Air Museum! We warmly congratulate Paul and his entire team on this outstanding achievement. Curious about the possibilities? Be sure to visit their website and discover what this unique venue has to offer.
