Organising an event requires a venue that suits the number of guests, the programme and the atmosphere you want to create. At KOMAEN in Oirschot, several spaces are available for events taking place during an afternoon, evening or full day.
The most suitable space depends on how the event is planned. A programme featuring a presentation and a shared closing session, for example, requires a different setup from an event where guests move between different activities and programme elements throughout the day.
The different spaces for groups can be used flexibly and combined with catering, technical facilities and other programme elements. This allows the reception, main programme, food and drinks and the closing part of the event to take place at the same venue.
When planning the event, the number of guests, preferred room setup and the way the different parts of the programme fit together throughout the day or evening can all be taken into account.

What kind of event are you organising?
An event venue is shaped by what happens throughout the day. Some events revolve around one central programme, while others combine presentations, networking, food, drinks and shared activities.
That is why choosing the right setup starts not only with the space itself, but with how you want the event to unfold.
The number of guests does not automatically determine what the event should look like. The duration, time of day and the way guests take part are equally important when deciding on the right setup.
How your event can unfold throughout the day
A well-planned event is more than a series of separate activities. The transitions between arrival, programme elements, breaks and the closing part of the event play an important role in how guests experience the day.
Start with a shared welcome, coffee and tea or an informal moment before the main programme begins.
Begin with a presentation, a shared session or a programme divided across different spaces or activities.
Allow time for a break, lunch or another moment when guests can talk to each other more informally.
Follow with another presentation, an activity or a programme element that fits naturally into the rest of the day.
Let the programme flow into drinks, a barbecue, buffet or dinner without requiring guests to travel to another venue.
This is just one possible way to structure an event. Your programme can be shorter, more extensive or centred entirely around one main element. Looking at the full day in advance makes it easier to coordinate spaces, catering and the different parts of the programme.
One venue for different moments
An event venue does not have to serve the same purpose throughout the entire day. The atmosphere and use of the venue can change as the programme moves from a formal part into a more informal setting.
The first impression is created before the main programme even begins. Guests need time to arrive, find each other and know where the first part of the event will take place. A shared welcome with coffee, tea or a drink gives the event a clear starting point.
One space can remain central throughout the event, or guests can move between different programme elements. This makes it possible to alternate presentations with conversations, activities or breaks without making the event feel like a collection of unrelated sessions.
The event does not have to end as soon as the final formal session is over. Drinks, a shared meal or another informal closing moment give guests the opportunity to continue their conversations and spend more time together.
Combine indoor and outdoor elements during your event
Not every part of the event needs to take place in the same room. When the programme and weather allow, indoor and outdoor moments can alternate throughout the event.
Guests can be welcomed indoors, while presentations, shared programme elements and food and drink can all take place in the available indoor spaces.
Depending on the programme, the outdoor area can be used for an activity or simply to add variety to an event that mainly takes place indoors.
An event could, for example, begin indoors with a presentation, continue outside with a shared activity and then move back indoors for drinks or dinner. This naturally creates variety throughout the day.
Technology that supports your programme
For events featuring presentations, speakers or shared sessions, it is important to know in advance which technical facilities are required. Technology should support the programme without becoming an unnecessary distraction during the event.
If more extensive audiovisual support is required, this can be discussed in advance. Additional technical facilities can be arranged externally where necessary, allowing the setup to match the requirements of your event.
Make food and drinks part of the event
Catering does not have to be simply a practical break in the programme. The different food and drink options can help connect the different moments of your event.
By including catering in the planning from the start, the different parts of the event can be scheduled more naturally. Guests do not need to travel to another location and the programme can continue without unnecessary interruptions.
An event does not have to consist entirely of presentations, listening and dining. An activity can create a natural transition between two parts of the programme or give guests a different way to interact with each other.
At KOMAEN, there are several group activities to choose from. Depending on the number of guests and the time available, an activity can be added to the programme without the group having to travel to another location.
For example, an afternoon programme can be followed by a shared activity before moving into drinks or dinner.
Your event does not have to end with the main programme
When your guests are already together at the same venue, there is no need for everyone to leave immediately after the final programme element. An afternoon event can gradually transition into a more informal evening.
This creates one continuous event rather than a programme where guests need to travel to another venue for each part. The combinations available depend on the number of guests, preferred times and programme elements.
