Location

The Elysion Convention Center is located at Aalsterweg 322, 5644 RL in Eindhoven at Van der Valk Hotel Eindhoven. The iconic building will mark the beginning of Brainport Avenue, which will run from the Elysion Convention Center, the new congress location, via the High Tech Campus to ASML's campus. 

The Elysion Convention Center is located strategically between Eindhoven Airport and the intercity railway station Eindhoven Central Station, as well as connected directly to the main public transport lines. The public transport stop ‘Hotel Eindhoven’ and the P&R Genneper Parken are located right next to the Elysion Convention Center and accessible in less than two minutes via comfortable sidewalks. The bus frequency is four times per hour to the railway station (15-minute distance) and four times per hour to Eindhoven Airport (40-minute distance). Besides these connections there are multiple local bus lines to Veldhoven (via Aalst-Waalre) and Valkenswaard.

Business-wise the Elysion Convention Center is located in the Eindhovense heart of the high-tech manufacturing industry. The location is strategically placed between ASML and the High Tech Campus (HTC) on the westside and the DAG and TU/e on the northside. This means all multinational companies in the area are accessible within ten minutes by public transport or car and in the case of the HTC, even by foot.

Besides the potential in ‘TDK’- profiled congresses the Elysion Convention Center is located on an unique place in the city. It is within walking distance from the HTC and the Genneper Parken is our backyard garden. This green division to the city is an unique brook valley with a beautiful culture-historical value. The ambition with regard to vitality of the Genneper Parken aligns with our ambition to recharge (mentally) and release (physically) energy. Elysion Convention Center will become a remarkable place for connection and contact (socially) which can play a role as a gateway to the area. The park is used daily not just by Eindhovense residents and recreationists, but also functions as a place of relaxation for employees on the HTC. Knowledge workers can recharge their energy in a relaxing environment. This will prove to be a unique selling point for congress visitors of the Elysion Convention Center. Visitors and participants of (inter)national congresses can use the green division to relax after an intensive day of work or choose to take the fast connection to go downtown. All hotspots, whether they be recreational or cultural, are within a 15-minute travel distance.

The presence of a large leisure and sports profile is a strong asset of the location. Traditionally Van de Valk Hotel Eindhoven is the starting point for cycling- and walking recreationists, thanks to the perfect connection to the Peel and the Kempen and the extraordinary quality of nature with the Genneper Parken as a backyard. The Genneper Parken has the ambition to strengthen the role of the Sport- and Vitality campus. The facilities already established, such as the Pieter van den Hoogenband Swimming Stadium, the Indoor Sports Center, the Fontys College and the many top sport clusters like Hockey Club Oranje-Rood, FC Eindhoven, CTO South and KNZB all add up to an area where energy is recharged, but can also be released.

This vitality also shows in the programmation of the congresses. Where Elysion Convention Center is a place where lightning strikes, the immediate surroundings can become the place to recharge or release. Going for a walk during breaks along the special locations within the park, like the Genneper Hoeve or the Prehistorical Village, bootcamping at one of the sports facilities prior to a congress, in which a collaboration with one of the top sport clusters or Fontys Sports College can be established, but also enjoying an alternative cultural evening programme in the Park theatre. Leisure activities that not just enhance the vitality of the congress attendee, but also contribute to visitation of sports, culture and recreation facilities.
