What do guests say about us?
Our customers
For which companies does a roadshow on the Maas work?
Rotterdam attracts roadshows from sectors that have water as their field of activity. The port makes the decor substantively relevant, not just decorative. Four Target groups book this format most often:
- Maritime and logistics: the sailing route passes terminals, cranes and sea vessels that serve the customers of the participants.
- Energy and industry: the trip towards Botlek and Maasvlakte shows the installations that the conversation is about.
- Tech and software: the skyline of Kop van Zuid provides a modern backdrop for a product demo with screen.
- Real estate and construction: from the water, the development of the Kop van Zuid and the Rijnhaven is visible at a glance.

& # 8220; We have had a very nice baby shower with my family and friends. As a pregnant woman have sailed through the canals of Amsterdam. Luckily we had wonderful weather and the baby shower decoration was beautiful. We really enjoyed the delicious freshly prepared BBQ and delicious chilled drinks.
Really recommended to go boating with Event on the Water for my pregnant girlfriend! Babyshower high tea during the cruise at one of the babyshower locations”
This is how you divide the program over the sailing time
A boat does not dock in between, so the program is fixed as soon as the cable is loose. This distribution works with a 4-hour port route:
- Walk in at the dock, 20 minutes. Guests report to the Boompjeskade and get coffee before the ship leaves.
- Leave and welcome, 15 minutes. The opening coincides with the passage under the Erasmus Bridge, the moment with the most attention.
- Plenary Block, 45 minutes. The plenary part rotates indoors, with screen and sound on demand.
- Port passage, 30 minutes. The ship reaches the terminals, guests move to the outer deck.
- Demo of break-out, 45 minuten. On the second deck, the setups are ready for smaller groups.
- Networking drinks with catering, 60 Minutes. Snacks, a walking dinner or a BBQ takes care of the kitchen on board.
- Return and completion, 30 minutes. The final pitch falls during the return to the skyline.
