Friday Hub Happy Hour
Before the night takes over, wind down (or warm up) at our Weeztix Hub Happy Hour. Start the weekend with a cold beer, swap some final business contacts, and toast to the weekend.
The Weeztix Hub returns
As our collaboration with ADE enters its third year, we’re excited to once again invite you to the Weeztix Hub!
Come find us at Keizer Culinair (Keizersgracht 376), just steps away from the main conference venue, Felix Meritis. After last year’s smashing success (yes, the Keizersgracht really did turn Weeztix blue!), we’re back with three days full of inspiration and networking.
Drop by for a quick hello, a chat, or even a demo. Curious about the latest Weeztix news, our ADE collaboration, and how we can help make your next event a success? Get in touch and we’ll get back to you shortly.
