The engine of large-scale events
At 624 m² of industrial indoor space, high ceilings, integrated light art and multiple floor levels, this is a room that convinces immediately.
The strength of The Main lies in scale and flow. The space holds up to 1,500 guests for a company festival or party, but works just as well for a tightly structured congress setup or trade fair. The layout is clear, sightlines are on point and the technical infrastructure is built for professional productions of serious scale.

Seamless connection with The Courtyard
What sets The Main apart is its direct connection to The Courtyard. Large garage doors open the space to the outside, allowing indoor and outdoor programmes to flow into one another. This makes combinations possible that are rare at this scale in Amsterdam. When the weather plays along, the event naturally spills outside. When it doesn’t, there’s more than enough indoor space to host a successful event. That setup gives organisers room to play without making compromises.
Integrated light and sound support everything from straightforward presentations to complex productions. Behind the scenes, everything is set up for smooth execution while the raw character of the space remains fully intact.

The technical infrastructure is integrated throughout the spaces, with rigging and fixed connections for fast build-up and breakdown.

Branding
Info
At LIEF Amsterdam we think along from the very start about how your brand comes to life in the space. No branding as an afterthought, but a brand experience that is part of the event itself.
The industrial setting offers room for both subtle and bold branding: from projections and light design to personalised entrances, signage and a stage in your style. That way your brand is not just communicated, but felt throughout the entire event.

The technical infrastructure is integrated throughout the space, with rigging and fixed connection points for fast build-up and breakdown. In The Main, the light artwork LUMUS is a permanent feature of the room, capable of both subtle support and making a bold visual statement during shows and evening events.
