Are you looking for a challenging internship in our office in The Netherlands, in which you work independently? Do you want to gain experience in customer service for a range of International congresses, from 150 – 5.000 participants?
Then read on quickly!
Our internship programme is designed to offer students the chance to learn what it really takes to organise a conference on an (inter)national level. Students are fully involved in the entire life cycle of the project management process and by working within an Agile project team, they have a chance to gain an in-depth understanding on all facets of a Professional Conference Organizer. Treated like regular employees, students will have the opportunity to assist online or onsite event(s) in Europe (and possibly beyond) if timely.
Each intern has a mentor assigned, who is supervising the work of the intern, but is also coaching and guiding them throughout the duration of the internship. The intern will be fully integrated in the department and will be working on the assigned projects.

This creates a great flexibility in gaining knowledge in the full scope of a project, from delegate management to sponsorship & programme management, from client meetings to budget creation. Together with your internship mentor you will decide on your tasks for the day or week. For example, you will:
