Conference Dinner

The conference dinner will be held in the restaurant
"d'Vijff Vlieghen". D’Vijff Vlieghen – it means ‘The Five
Flies’ – restaurant in medieval Amsterdam is a landmark
and it is one of Amsterdam's most famous restaurants,
Vijff Vlieghen, is located near the city centre and very
close to busy shopping streets such as the Kalverstraat
and Leidsestraat.
The d'Vijff Vlieghen restaurant consists of five adjacent
17th century houses. It has nine interconnected dining
rooms, each with its own distinctive style. All of' them
recreate the rich atmosphere of the Golden Age.
The Rembrandt Room is particularly remarkable for its four
original etchings made by the great Dutch master. In the
Knights' Hall, displays of helmets and armour recall the
Eighty Years War with Spain.
The Glass Room contains a collection of rare handmade
glassware dating from the 17th century, whilst the 18th
century panelling of the Bridal Room creates an intimate
atmosphere.
The founder, one Nicolaas Kroese, started it all in 1939.
He had gigantic charisma that attracted attention from
everywhere. Plaques on the chairs commemorate past guests:
Walt Disney, Gianni Versace, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis.
