Welcome (Back) to the Netherlands
After the success of last years event, the biggest fair for expats in Holland, The Welcome to the Netherlands returns to Amsterdam in October, 2005 and promises to be even bigger and better than last year.
AMSTERDAM (PRWEB) August 5, 2005 -- After the success of last years event, the biggest fair for expats in Holland returns to Amsterdams venerable Beurs van Berlage in October, 2005. Aimed at the English-speaking expat community in Holland, the Welcome to the Netherlands Fair promises to be bigger and better, according to organizers Expatica Communications.
Event organizer Lee Devereux has taken the most popular features from last years event -- the comedy troupes sketch on Living with the Dutch" was particularly memorable -- and combined them with even more information and activities for the whole family, from learning about offshore banking to tasting some of Hollands incredible cheeses.
Dutch bank ABN-AMRO is again lead sponsor and will have banking staff on hand to help newcomers sort out their finances. Dozens of other companies, clubs and organizations will be looking to provide incoming expats with all the information they could possibly need to know, in one day.
In addition to serving newer expats, last years event attracted many longer-term expats looking to make more of their life abroad by joining a social club, learning Dutch or investing their salaries into property, funds or a new car.
The Welcome to the Netherlands Fair 2005 will be officially opened by British consul-general, Bernhard Garside at the historic Beurs Van Berlage in Amsterdam; many nationalities will be represented through various social groups and clubs.
This years event also sees Expatica teaming up with two well-known sponsors, the International Herald Tribune and the new Amsterdam promotion group, Iamsterdam. The Welcome Fair will also include a series of presentations on expatriate issues, background on Holland and entertainment for both adults and children. Attendees will once again have everything in one place to make the most of life in the Netherlands -- all in one day.
