Safe & hospitable events

Since our founding in 1893, the RAI has been known as an organisation where safety and hospitality are of paramount importance. With 125 years of experience in organising and facilitating events, and therefore also in security and regulating visitor flows, we have acquired a solid position in this.

We now welcome an average of 1.5 million visitors at approximately 500 events per year. This makes us one of Europe's busiest exhibition and conference centres and we occupy a leading position as the international exhibition and conference organisation in the Netherlands. A great diversity of people and resources intersect and follow each other. In order to guarantee hospitality and safety for all involved, we work on improving safety every day. Both online and offline and from the build-up to the breakdown of events.

Smoking policy

Smoking is prohibited at RAI Amsterdam. This applies to the building, parking garages, and entrances. This also includes electronic cigarettes. Therefore, RAI has provided special smoking facilities at designated locations on the RAI premises where smoking is allowed. These locations are marked with the green smoking symbol. Smokers are expected to smoke at these designated areas and dispose of cigarettes in the provided ashtrays.
