    In celebration of its 115-year anniversary, Wienke Bodewes, Managing Director AMVEST, Chairman of the shareholders meeting of the Amsterdam Conference Centre Beurs van Berlage, opens the trading day in Amsterdam with the sounding of the gong.

    27 May 2018 marks the 115th year of the Beurs van Berlage, a milestone that will be celebrated all year. The festivities will culminate on 15 September, on that day the Beurs van Berlage shall put all its facilities at the disposal of a social benefit organisation, Resto VanHarte, for one full day.

    The Beurs van Berlage has a rich history. Upon its opening, four types of exchanges took residence in the building, each with its own space, meeting rooms and auction halls for conducting trade. Following the departure of the exchanges, the building took on the function that its architect, Berlage, had in mind even while he was designing the edifice: a palace for the public. Today, the Beurs van Berlage serves as a meeting place for congresses and events, with two restaurants, a meeting centre, three escape rooms, 45 different companies and even a chocolate shop.
