LIEF Amsterdam

LIEF Amsterdam hosts congresses, conferences, award shows, trade fairs, product launches and company parties in a former bus depot in Amsterdam Sloterdijk. The venue has about 1,500 m² of indoor space and a large outdoor area. It works for groups from 50 to 1,500 guests, and the site states there is no minimum number of guests. It is always hired exclusively.

Seminars and company events Business formats on the site are congresses and plenary sessions, conferences, trade fairs, product launches, company festivals, award shows and hybrid or livestream events. For a hybrid event, The Main acts as the live stage and The Pit as a smaller studio setting, while speakers prepare in The Gold or The Red. The technical infrastructure is built into the rooms, with rigging and fixed connections for fast set-up, lighting, sound, audiovisual installations and stable internet. The team works on concept, layout, branding, technology and production with its regular partners.

Rooms and capacities There are five indoor rooms and one outdoor area. The Main is the largest indoor room and the core of large productions. The Pit is the second hall, a former workspace that can be used alone or as an extension of The Main. The Arch is the reception area at the entrance. The Gold is a compact room for sessions, presentations or a drinks reception for up to 50 people. The Red is a compact room for small meetings and presentations. The Courtyard is the outdoor area, and the site says everything can shift indoors if the weather turns. The site does not give seating capacities per room, so state your headcount and layout when you request.

Catering The in-house kitchen covers sit-down dinners, walking dinners and drinks, with signature cocktails and personalized bites. Entertainment, from live acts and DJs to hosts, can be arranged to match the rhythm of the evening.

History and setting The venue is a former Amsterdam bus depot turned into an urban oasis. Art and artwork are present throughout the building. The location is branded to your event on request, with signage, projections, lighting and routing.

Getting there The site places the venue in Amsterdam Sloterdijk, around the corner from Sloterdijk. It lists parking spaces at the door. The street address and public transport details are not on the pages we read, so confirm them with the team when you book a site visit.
