TEFAF started out in Maastricht as an annual cultural event created to celebrate and embrace the rich diversity of cultures that come together in this city. It’s a city that continues to evolve and grow from its location at the crossroads of Europe, just like TEFAF. Both the fair and the city contribute to each other’s success through cooperation and collaboration, making this a truly unique partnership.”

“For over 13 years, MECC Maastricht has been our trusted venue, and with the new construction and upgrades, we now have even more fantastic opportunities to showcase EVC to the fullest. There are very few congress centers in the world with such a perfect infrastructure where EVC can host hundreds of workshops. And all of this in the beautiful city of Maastricht, which our thousands of participants are eager to visit every year!”

“We chose the MECC Maastricht because it is the only venue big enough to seat up to 12,000 people in Maastricht. Around 1,000 people are involved on stage and backstage: my Johann Strauss Orchestra, choir, soloists, technical staff, production team, catering team, hundreds of dancers, ice skaters, extras, ushers and many more. Together we give MECC Maastricht completely a new ambiance”

“Recently, we held our conference at the newly renovated MECC Maastricht, and it was excellent. It was the first conference since the pandemic where we could meet our participants in person again. Everyone was extremely positive about the venue. The participants loved how open the space was, and the overall layout of the various rooms was perfect for hosting our program. The staff was also fantastic. From the early pre-conference planning to the on-site execution, everyone was a pleasure to work with. MECC also assisted us in arranging complimentary bus transportation to and from the conference center, which was greatly appreciated by our participants. In summary, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend MECC Maastricht to anyone looking for a venue in Europe.”

“The recently renovated MECC Maastricht is an excellent venue for our students to take their exams in a calm environment. The congress center, in its upgraded state, meets our needs perfectly. Additionally, MECC Maastricht is conveniently located near our faculties in Randwyck and close to the city center. For students living further away, the proximity to Randwyck train station is a significant advantage. In addition to the fact that we urgently need the space to facilitate exams, the central location of MECC Maastricht plays a key role in our decision to hold our exams there.”

“Working with MECC Maastricht is great. We have had the pleasure of working with them several times and everything is always to our satisfaction! Whether this was a party or symposium, renting a meeting location, attending a Sinterklaas show after which we and our guests were welcomed in a separate room, or large-group access to one of the many public events held at MECC Maastricht. Regardless of the question or request, the MECC Maastricht team helps us come up with great ideas and ensures that our events can be planned and executed to our satisfaction.”
