Prodentfabriek hosts congresses, symposiums, fairs, meetings, dinners and company parties for up to 500 people. It occupies a former toothpaste factory in Amersfoort, where the 1,000 m² production hall can be used as one space or split in two. Smaller rooms in the same complex cover break-outs, workshops and training days.
Seminars and company events
The main hall is the Peli and Erdal, a former production hall of 1,000 m² with a capacity of up to 500 people. Two sliding doors, each 3.00 by 4.00 meters, divide it into Peli and Erdal, or leave it as one room. A wall separates the plenary room from the catering area. The hall is suited to large congresses that need a wide plenary space, and to trade fairs and art fairs with stands. Cars, food trucks and large set pieces can be driven inside for product launches.
The rooms also work for workshops and courses for groups of 5 to 80 people. Meetings can be held in person, online or hybrid. The Peli, over 450 m², is set up as a plug-and-play studio with six dome cameras, vision mixing, a lighting plan, a 28 m² screen and a sound system, and takes up to 250 visitors around a talk show table. A speaker and crew room of 150 m² goes with it.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not present weddings. It does list company parties for small or large groups, dinners and receptions in the same halls.
Rooms and capacities
The Erdal covers 450 m², split into a catering section and a plenary section, with a cloakroom and registration area. It seats up to 80 in theatre layout, with a projector and an 8 m² screen, sound amplification, microphones and headsets. The Laboratorium, at Oude Fabriekstraat 12, covers 140 m² with a glass wall and takes up to 40 people for meetings, or up to 70 as a break-out space. It has a 65 inch screen and a self-service bar with an espresso machine.
The site also lists smaller spaces that are not bookable separately: Amersfoort Vergaderen for up to 40, the Danswerkplaats of 130 m² for up to 100, Tana for 20 to 30, the FLUOR rooms for 80 and 150, and Het Platform with 11 meeting rooms.
Catering
Catering is prepared in the venue's own kitchen with local products. Formats range from self-service to full service by the event staff. The Peli and Erdal hall has its own catering area.
History and setting
For almost 80 years the Prodent toothpaste was made in the Peli and Erdal hall. The industrial character remains in the large volumes, sliding doors and glass walls. The venue also hosts live and filmed formats thanks to its studio equipment.
