Domstad organizes meetings, trainings and congresses for 6 to 350 people in Utrecht. The course and conference center has 50 rooms, a large congress hall and an auditorium, and sits at Koningsbergerstraat 9, within walking distance of Utrecht Centraal. It is a working venue for business days rather than a party location.
Seminars and company events
Domstad splits its offer into three formats: congress, training and meeting. For a congress, the center has a large congress hall and an auditorium. For a training, a group of participants can use rooms set up for workshops and presentations. For a meeting, the rooms are furnished according to their regular use, with square, U-shaped, classroom or theater layouts possible. When a plenary room is combined with side rooms, the center reserves them for the full length of your program, so your break-out sessions stay in one place.
Rooms and capacities
The center counts 50 modern, functional rooms for groups of up to 350 people. Small meeting rooms of about 15 square meters take 6 to 8 people in a block layout. Medium rooms of about 30 square meters take 8 to 16 people in a square layout, and some are limited to 12. Every room has a flip chart or whiteboard with markers, plus an LED screen or a projector. Rooms are rented by half day: morning from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., afternoon from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and evening from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
The website shows availability and lets you place an optional reservation online. A price calculator helps you estimate the cost of a room and a number of half days before you send a request. The center is open Monday to Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Catering
The center provides catering itself. Options include coffee during the meeting, a lunch buffet and a dressed-up drinks reception at the end of the day, and a drinks board from local businesses is available. The venue describes the offer as a complete service, so room, equipment and food can be ordered together.
History and setting
Domstad presents itself as a center that favors sustainable solutions and personal attention for organizers and their guests. It is located in the center of Utrecht, which means participants coming from across the country can arrive by train and walk to the door.
Getting there
The center is easy to reach by public transport, by car and on foot from Utrecht Centraal. The site gives the walking time as 5 minutes on some pages and 10 minutes on others, so plan for a short walk. The address is Koningsbergerstraat 9, 3531 AJ Utrecht.
