“MECC Maastricht has been our familiar venue for 13 years now, and with the new construction and upgrade we will have even more fantastic opportunities to showcase EVC to the fullest. There are very few convention centres in the world with this type of perfect infrastructure where EVC can organise hundreds of workshops. And we get to do it all in the beautiful city of Maastricht where thousands of participants love to come every year!”


Nick Bos
Vice President of Maastricht University
“The recently renovated MECC Maastricht is a great place for our students to take their exams in a quiet setting. In its new iteration, the conference centre meets our needs. MECC Maastricht is also conveniently located near our faculties in Randwyck, and the city centre is nearby. For students who don’t live near the campus, the proximity of the NS station Randwyck is a major advantage. Apart from our need for the rooms to facilitate giving exams, MECC Maastricht’s central location has contributed to our decision to continue holding our exams at MECC Maastricht.”

“The great thing about Maastricht as a conference destination is that it’s a very well-arranged city with an extremely friendly atmosphere. I will never become a true Maastrichtian, but I feel more at home here than anywhere else.”
Frank Heijmann

“The European historical relevance and the highly innovative and international nature of the region made the city of Maastricht an excellent location to host the World Customs Organisation Technology Conference & Exhibition. Up to 140 nationalities were hugely impressed by the offerings of the city. The strong cooperating local community made huge efforts to make the conference to a success with international impact. MECC Maastricht has a team of high-level professionals, an excellent venue and outstanding arrangements.”

“We recently held our conference in the newly renovated MECC Maastricht and it was outstanding. This was the first time this conference has met in person since the pandemic and everyone had very positive things to say about the venue. They loved how open the space was and the overall layout of the rooms was perfect for hosting our program. The staff was also fantastic. From the early pre-conference planning to the onsite execution, everyone was great to work with. MECC also helped with arranging complimentary bus transportation to and from the center which was very much appreciated by our attendees. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend anyone looking for a venue in Europe to consider the MECC.”
