Aristo Amsterdam hosts seminars, training days, board meetings and exams for groups of 2 to 200 people. The meeting center stands at Teleportboulevard 100 in Amsterdam Sloterdijk, directly next to the NS Sloterdijk railway station.
Seminars and company events
The center sells rooms by the day part or by an eight-hour arrangement. The largest space is the Conferentiezaal, which takes 45 to 200 people and has dual projection. The Grote zaal Comfort suits 25 to 150 people, and the Middelgrote zaal Comfort suits 8 to 45. For small working groups there are the Kleine zaal Comfort (3 to 16 people) and the Zaal Deluxe (4 to 16 people). Brainstorm and scrum rooms are also offered for workshops and sprints.
An organizer can combine several rooms in one booking: a plenary in the Conferentiezaal, breakout groups in the smaller rooms, and a drinks reception afterward. The site reports opening hours from 08:00 to 18:00 on most weekdays, until 22:00 on Thursday, and on request on Sunday. The venue is closed on public holidays.
Rooms and capacities
Every room has daylight, ventilation, a whiteboard, a flip-over, speakers, pen and paper, and fast Wi-Fi. The smaller rooms carry a monitor, while the middle, large and conference rooms carry a projector. Hybrid meeting sets, microphones, lecterns and laptops with Microsoft Office 365 can be added. The Examenzalen take 5 to 24 people with at least one meter between tables, and anti-spy screens can be added for exams.
The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, with lifts and adapted toilets. A lactation room and a prayer room are located next to reception.
Accommodation
Aristo has no bedrooms. The Holiday Inn Express Amsterdam Sloterdijk, a three-star hotel, is about two minutes away on foot. Aristo guests receive 10 percent off the best available rate through a link supplied by the Aristo team. For more than ten rooms, the hotel quotes rates on request.
Catering
Food comes from Aristo Kitchen, the in-house kitchen with its own restaurant. Options include breakfast, a lunch buffet, an à la carte lunch, dinner and a drinks reception. Dietary needs and allergies can be accommodated. The all-in arrangements include coffee, tea, soft drinks and snacks, and the eight-hour arrangement includes a lunch buffet. For groups that want to leave the building, Aris-to-go provides a lunch box with a walking route.
History and setting
The center sits in the Sloterdijk business district in the west of Amsterdam, among offices and transport links rather than in the old center. It runs as a booking-led meeting venue, with an online booking tool, a tour on request and free cancellation up to 48 hours before the start for standard bookings. Groups of 45 or more follow different terms.
Getting there
The building is directly next to Sloterdijk station. Leave by the Changiweg exit; from platform 9, cross the bridge on the right. The site gives the walk as two to five minutes from the platform or station, and trams and buses also stop at Sloterdijk. By car, Aristo has its own garage and parking deck with 190 spaces, including electric charging points, with licence plate recognition at entry and exit around the clock. Parking can be reserved in advance through ParkBee. Bicycle racks stand 50 meters from the station.
