Who are 'professionals'?
Each year, the Holland Festival welcomes many professional visitors from all over the world. By 'professionals,' we mean individuals who work for cultural organizations in a programming role and visit the festival in their professional capacity (press can visit the press section of the website).
Requesting festival attendance
If you wish to attend the festival as a professional, you can register by sending an email to [email protected].
If your request is approved, you will be added to our database as a professional, receive regular mailings specifically targeted at professional visitors, and be able to purchase festival tickets at a reduced 'professional rate' through your login.
By using this discount, you agree that we may inform the company, upon request, that you will be or have attended the performance as a professional. If you do not wish to be informed, please let us know via [email protected].
Professionals Weekend
Each year during the festival, the Holland Festival also organizes a Professionals Weekend, focused on professionals in a programming role (such as artistic directors, program managers, and programmers). This is a unique opportunity to see performances, network, exchange knowledge, and gain inspiration for future projects. Registered professionals will automatically receive an invitation for this. If you would like to participate but have not yet received an invitation, please email [email protected].
Hotels
For accommodations, we refer to our partner hotels Casa Amsterdam and Westcord Art Hotel Amsterdam. To make your experience during the Professionals Weekend as smooth and pleasant as possible, we have arranged a special professional discount for accommodation at Casa. You can book your stay per night including breakfast by sending an email to [email protected] and including 'HF PROFESSIONALS WEEKEND' in the subject line of your email. Payment will be made upon arrival at the hotel. More information can be found here.
