ABOUT US Small by design, deep in experience

Klinkhamer is a congress organizer and association management company, based in Maastricht — run by a senior team with deep roots in the industry.

Our story

Klinkhamer Group was founded in 2008 by Niels Klinkhamer, bringing hands-on experience in international congress organisation to the company from day one — experience that still shapes how we work today.

We believe in the power of face-to-face knowledge sharing. As a full-service congress organizer and association management company, we help scientific committees, associations and institutes turn ideas into events that actually bring people together — not just logistically, but meaningfully.

We've stayed intentionally small. Every project is run by the same senior team from bid to closing session — not handed off along the way.

OUR VISION Making impact by facilitating knowledge sharing

Here's how we put that into practice, every day.

Dedicated project management

One dedicated project manager per event, with a strong focus on financial risk management and budget control — so there are no surprises along the way.
