This time, our congratulations go to Harderwijk, where Congress Centre B&I & Bij Fritz has successfully achieved its YOIN Excellent Meeting Places recertification. Together, Congress Centre B&I and Bij Fritz form a distinctive meeting venue, set within a historic former military barracks complex.
Located on the Veluwe, the site's robust character provides a unique backdrop to its modern facilities and the warm hospitality of the team. It was something that immediately stood out to auditor Bianca Cuperus: "Achieving recertification is about much more than having an attractive venue. It requires genuine attention to what meeting guests truly value. Compliments to Bouw & Infra Park and Bij Fritz for their continuous commitment to quality, hospitality, and delivering an experience where every detail is just right."
The team at Congress Centre B&I and Bij Fritz greatly appreciates both the recognition and the recertification: "Organising an event always involves a degree of trust. You arrive at a venue hoping everything is in place—that people think along with you and that your guests feel genuinely welcome. YOIN certification helps make that quality visible in advance. We are truly proud to have achieved it once again."
That is exactly what YOIN excellent meeting places certification stands for: making your quality, hospitality, and service visible to event planners. YOIN-certified venues not only meet all essential requirements—including facilities, permits, and insurance—but also embed hospitality and quality into the DNA of their organisation. The result is peace of mind for bookers and an excellent experience for every guest. And once again, Congress Centre B&I and Bij Fritz have demonstrated exactly that.
Congratulations to the entire team on this outstanding achievement. Cheers!
