Music Meeting Lounge is a small meeting venue at Badlaan 1 BIS in Amstelveen, close to Schiphol and Amsterdam. It is built for board meetings, workshops, trainings, brainstorming sessions and kick-offs with 2 to 30 people. The look is a lounge rather than a conference room, centered on a large vinyl collection and a DJ booth.
Seminars and company events
The venue is aimed at business meetings of up to 30 people. Typical uses named by the team are board meetings, workshops, trainings, brainstorm sessions and kick-offs. The idea is that music sets the tone: a record is playing when guests arrive, and the setting is informal and homely instead of corporate.
Groups can choose how to sit. The ground floor has meeting tables, a spot by the fireplace and other seating groups. The loft, called the creative space, has a flexible layout and a balcony, so a group can split up for smaller discussions or work in parallel. When the weather allows, the doors to the roof terrace open and meetings can continue outside.
Hire formats and equipment
The space is rented by the half day (4 hours), the full day (8 hours) or by the hour. A last-minute rate applies when a booking is made within a week. Prices are given on request. Every rate includes the use of the DJ booth with the vinyl collection, wifi, an LCD screen with HDMI and Chromecast, a flipchart and pinboards.
Catering
Food and drink arrangements are offered for meeting days, with lunch and snacks between sessions. The team also sells energizer breaks. The signature one lets the group choose a record to play during the break. The newsletters add body percussion, boomwhackers and djembe or Brazilian drum workshops as ways to restart a long session.
Sustainability
The venue describes a sustainable meeting approach. The vinyl collection is nearly all second hand, acoustic wall panels are made from recycled PET bottles, lighting is LED only, flipchart paper is recycled and used coffee capsules are collected for recycling. A drinks arrangement supports Alzheimer Nederland through a donation, as the venue was created as a tribute to the father of its founder, who had the disease.
Setting and getting there
The lounge is in Amstelveen. The Amstelveense Poel and the Amsterdamse Bos are close, and the team suggests a 45-minute walk around De Poel as a break and can help plan a route. The site gives the address and a phone number for questions. It does not describe bedrooms or weddings, so plan accommodation separately.
