Seminars and company events
Kartfabrique is an indoor activity venue in Utrecht that also sells meeting space. Groups of up to 200 people can hold a brainstorm, a business meeting, a presentation or a kick-off in an industrial setting, and then move straight into team activities under the same roof. The official site presents the venue as a meeting place where energy and focus meet rather than a standard conference location.
A meeting can be combined with karting, laser gaming, simracing or Prison Island, an escape-style game with 39 cells and tasks. Company outing formats are offered with a sharing dinner, which makes it possible to run a working session and an outing on the same day.
The venue also welcomes other group formats, including bachelor parties, school trips and children's parties, so its team knows how to run groups of mixed size and age. For companies, the typical day is a working session in the morning, then an activity block and a shared meal. The arrangement and the activities are chosen together when a request is sent, and the team offers to think along about how to reach the goals of the day.
Rooms and capacities
Three meeting spaces are available: the Garage, the Silo (Silo61) and the Magazijn. Together they allow a gathering of up to 200 people. The official site does not give a capacity for each room, and says the layouts are flexible so each room can be adapted to the goal and program of the day.
Modern audiovisual equipment is available. Some capacity per layout should be confirmed with the team when requesting a proposal.
Meeting equipment is described as modern audiovisual technology, and the team also supports longer meetings: the standard arrangement covers four hours, with extra hours possible on request. The venue is open in the evening, which suits late sessions after a working day.
Catering
Meetings can be combined with breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks. For groups of more than 12, a sharing dinner is offered up to 30 people, and a buffet for more than 30. Dietary needs and allergies can be accommodated when communicated in advance. The full range is in the venue's Foodbook, and the venue operates its own food and drinks concepts.
History and setting
The venue is in an industrial building on the Westkanaaldijk in Utrecht and has operated for 25 years as an outing venue. The game arena for laser gaming spans three floors. The site is described as child-friendly for its public activities.
