Customer testimonials
Working with the PdZ team has been dream, from catering, to production or facilitating a hackathon they can do it all! As an event organiser, I have so many little things to worry about, but the PdZ team made sure I could focus on the content, our partners and our guests, as they would take care of all the rest! Responsive, kind and professional. A dream team to work with. Can definitely recommend organising your event at PdZ, I will be organising ETHDam 2024 at PdZ again! :))
Pakhuis de Zwijger has been our host for many (many!) years. "Pakhuis" has been so core to our event experience that we incorporated the building in our logo refresh in 2022. Sometimes we'll explore the idea of changing venue (just for change sake), but every time we come back to realize that the relationship and level of trust we have with the event team at Pakhuis de Zwijger is truly unique. The team doesn't only anticipate our needs, they help improve the conference year over year as well, adding lessons they learned from the other events they host.
We had our yearly conference at the Pakhuis de Zwijger in September 2023. The dedication demonstrated by your team did not go unnoticed. From the initial planning stages to the execution of the event, each member exhibited professionalism and a commitment to ensuring our attendees had an unforgettable experience. Their attention to detail, prompt responsiveness, and willingness to go the extra mile truly set the De Zwijger apart.
