Louise Smit, CEO Pieter Smit

As soon as you enter, you feel the grandeur of the building, but at the same time, it radiates warmth and accessibility. Our foreign guests were deeply impressed by the setting and the atmosphere, which contributed to inspiring and productive outcomes. Thanks to the thoughtful team, technical capabilities, and the beautiful surroundings, our event was a great success.

D. Raadgers, Aviation Directorate Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management

For the final evening, we have chosen this beautiful location for years. The PHIL matches very well with what we want to convey, is located in the heart of the province, and the team always provides high-quality services. All of this certainly contributes to making the final an ultimate experience for our finalists!

Lotte Bouwens, Senior Management Assistent Randstad Nederland bv

The open foyers, the original furniture, the lighting; everything was perfect. The international visitors consistently mentioned how perfect the location was and how important it was for the excellent atmosphere at the busy congress.
