Compact and self-contained

This industrial event space is a former workshop within the old bus depot, a room with its own character and a clear purpose. At 225 m², this is a well-suited space for a standalone dinner, party or plenary programme.

The space accommodates up to 500 guests standing and up to 250 in dinner setup. This makes The PIT fully self-contained, but equally strong as a second room within a larger event.

The rectangular layout and clear dimensions create strong sightlines and pleasant acoustics. For presentations, talks or sessions where content takes centre stage, that works in your favour. But The PIT is equally ideal for trade fair setups, parties or break-out sessions within LIEF Amsterdam.

The permanent light artwork by LUMUS Instruments gives the space a recognisable signature without overpowering it. A fixed bar is in place and can be expanded where needed.
