Diversity & Inclusion

Because we value the strength that comes from embracing differences. We want to create an environment where everyone not only excels professionally but also feels like they belong. At RAI Amsterdam, diversity isn't merely a goal; it's an integral part of our identity, and inclusivity isn't just a concept; it's the essence of how we want each person to experience our shared space. RAI Amsterdam strives to be an inclusive culture where we embrace diversity. Inclusion means that everyone feels like they belong and feel appreciated for who they are.

At RAI Amsterdam, we are committed to building a future that is beneficial not only for organizers, exhibitors, and visitors but also for our neighbors, employees, stakeholders, the city of Amsterdam, and its residents. We plan and collaborate to develop RAI into a welcoming, healthy, and inviting place where everyone feels welcome and at home.

RAI Amsterdam has a team which is completely focused on strengthening our diverse, equal and inclusive culture. The key question of the team is always ‘What do you need to be successful?’. In this way, we encourage everyone to get the best out of themselves. The team does the work on various projects, holds discussions with colleagues and refines the objectives and ambitions. They also organize events within the organization.  

We are focusing on two pillars: Social Safety and Belonging. We believe that everyone should have the freedom to be themselves, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, sex, disability, origin or religion.  

We maintain a constant focus on these two pillars. For example, we have an ambassador network to roll-out projects in order to improve our practices upon these focus themes. In addition, we have events throughout the year, linked to the theme of diversity and inclusion, such as Leader Day 2024 and Diversity Week.
