Of je nu komt om te ruilen, ontdekken of kopen — dit is hét evenement waar het hart van iedere verzamelaar sneller van gaat kloppen.
De Kromhouthal in Amsterdam is one of the most famous and impressive event locations in the Netherlands. Located on the IJ in the creative and vibrant Amsterdam North, the Kromhouthal attracts tens of thousands of visitors annually for various events: from large trade fairs and conferences to special product launches and culinary gala dinners. Thanks to its unique industrial look, modern facilities, and central location, De Kromhouthal Amsterdam is the ideal place for both business and public events.
The Kromhouthal stands out through a unique combination of history, architecture, and flexibility. Once the home of the Kromhout shipbuilding engine factory, the hall was transformed into a leading event venue in 2012. The rich history of the Kromhouthal is visible and palpable everywhere: the original industrial elements — from high ceilings to the seven overhead cranes — give every event a unique, authentic atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else.
With over 4,000 m² of exhibition space for this event, flexible layout options, and state-of-the-art facilities, both small gatherings and large-scale events can be perfectly organized. The venue is known for its excellent service and passionate team with over ten years of experience in event organization.
The Kromhouthal hosts a wide spectrum of events. The Amsterdam Noord address — Gedempt Hamerkanaal 231, 1021 KP Amsterdam — has been the venue for Google Think, the Affordable Art Fair, Emerce E-day, Dance4Life, and major corporate events for companies like Google, Booking.com, and Mercedes. The diversity of Kromhouthal events showcases the venue's versatility: from international press launches to popular art fairs and from large conferences to spectacular product launches.
De Kromhouthal art fair en beursevenementen trekken jaarlijks duizenden bezoekers. De beurs Kromhouthal heeft een sterke traditie: zo vindt de Affordable Art Fair al jaren plaatsvast in Amsterdam Noord. Voor Collectable World Events vormt De Kromhouthal op 10 en 11 oktober 2026 het perfecte decor. De combinatie van de industriële look & feel, de grote open vloer van 4.000 m² en de uitstekende bereikbaarheid vanuit heel Nederland maakt dit hét verzamelevenement van de zomer.
Visitors can expect a wide range of unique collectibles, trading and buying stalls, and an atmospheric experience in one of Amsterdam's most characteristic buildings. The Kromhouthal schedule for this weekend offers something for every collector to discover.
