GET MORE OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS
With meetings, events, and travel in the Netherlands and abroad.
You speak with customers, partners, and colleagues about plans, results and collaboration. The content is right. The agreements are clear. Yet you notice that people feel less connected than you would like, and sometimes even decide not to continue working together.
Strong relationships are not just created through substantive conversations, but through genuine connection. That is why we design encounters that go beyond a program. With tailor-made meetings, events, and trips that deepen relationships and strengthen engagement.

ABOUT BARENTSZEN
BARENTSZEN has been designing meaningful encounters for decades. From our offices in Rotterdam and Amsterdam, we work with an experienced team and a strong (inter)national network of permanent partners.
We combine in-house concept development with broad experience in working with organizations in various sectors, in the Netherlands and abroad. This allows us to act quickly and connect content with the right people and places.
We do this by co-designing encounters, based on your goal and your context. Not from a fixed format, but from the question: what do you want to strengthen, change, or grow?
HOW WE CREATE MEANINGFUL ENCOUNTERS
MORE THAN organizing
We think along about content, structure, and dynamics, and create environments (at home and abroad) in which relationships and networks truly come to life.
Attention to both content and interaction
We don't leave interaction to chance. We design programs in which content, conversation, and experience reinforce each other, so that participants are actively involved and insights stick.
STRONG NETWORK
With over 40 years of experience and a highly committed network, we know how to quickly connect the right people, places, and partners.
CREATIVE AND ENTREPRENEURIAL DNA
With our 'Dutch DNA' (innovative, creative, entrepreneurial), we translate ideas into encounters that work. No standard formats, but tailor-made solutions with content, coherence, and meaning.
NEWS & INSPIRATION
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
From the very first meeting through to the final wrap-up of the trip, communication with BARENTSZEN was clear and professional. We received not only great tips about the destination (hotel/restaurants/experiences) but also excellent advice on the structure and logic of the program. During the trip, the local guides hired by BARENTSZEN and our tour leader Jiska’s sharp eye for detail made all the difference. She managed to guide our group of 26 people smoothly and graciously, allowing us to focus entirely on the experience. The result: an inspiring, unique, and connecting study trip where everything was safely and superbly organized.
The best moment? When you notice the energy flowing, without having to push.
From the very first introductory meeting, they truly listened to our wishes for the ideal office weekend. Djuna and Frederiek took care of every detail, ensuring the program perfectly aligned with our company and team. Our thanks to Djuna, Frederiek, and the entire team for the fantastic organization and this unforgettable weekend. We hope to work together again in the future!
Our company trip to Berlin was a success, thanks in part to the professional guidance of BARENTSZEN. They have excellent local connections and responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable staff.
For the anniversary trip to Reims, we worked closely with BARENTSZEN to create a memorable journey that would bring all colleagues closer together. Thanks to their creative and seamless organization, it became exactly the kind of trip people will be talking about for years to come.
Such an eye for detail, such a high level of flexibility and customer focus, and such a tight internal organization are things we rarely experience from suppliers. We would therefore like to wholeheartedly recommend Barentszen to any organization that wants to make their group trip a resounding success.

ABOUT BARENTSZEN
What are the benefits of outsourcing a meeting, event, or trip?
You save time and prevent everything from falling on one person’s shoulders. In addition, we help translate your goal into a clear setup, so that content, program, and organization align perfectly.
What is the difference between a meeting, event, or trip?
The difference lies mainly in the setting and the goal. Meetings focus on content and decision-making, events on connection and energy, and trips on depth and context outside the daily environment.
Are your quotes non-binding?
Yes. We are happy to think along with you and develop a proposal that fits your needs, without any obligation.
From how many people do you consider it a group?
We maintain a minimum group size of approximately 15 people.
Do you only organize meetings, events, and trips in the Netherlands?
No. We organize programs in the Netherlands, Europe, and worldwide, depending on what best suits the goal and the group.
