The Centrale Markthal programme,
chauffeured.
Orchestral and electronic work in the old market hall. The old wholesale market hall on the Jan van Galenstraat is one of the largest indoor spaces in the west of the city, and during the week it is used for the sort of production that needs the height: orchestras, installations and electronics in the same room.
Wednesday 21 October, at the Centrale Markthal.
Opening night. The conference has barely finished its first day when the first rooms fill, and the city moves from panels to parties in the space of an hour.

It is a short run from the ring and from the Westergasfabriek, which makes it easy to combine with whatever is happening at the Gashouder the same night.
The A10-West and the S104, or the Jan van Galenstraat straight out of the centre. The car comes onto the market grounds and stops at the hall entrance.
There is space on the grounds for more than one car to stage, so a group that arrived separately can leave together — useful when the next room of the night is across town.
Jan van Galenstraat, Amsterdam-West.
The Centrale Markthal is the old wholesale market hall on the Jan van Galenstraat in West, off the A10-West at the S104.
The car stops on the market grounds at the entrance to the hall. There is space to stage more than one car here, which makes it a straightforward pickup for a group at the end of the night.
The Centrale Markthal is the old wholesale market hall on the Jan van Galenstraat in West, off the A10-West at the S104. Your chauffeur checks the roads before setting off rather than when he arrives, and the price is fixed when you book, whatever the traffic does.

Yes, and on this night it is the sensible way to do it. There is space on the grounds for more than one car to stage, so a group that arrived separately can leave together — useful when the next room of the night is across town. Book the return at the same time as the outward ride, or keep one car and chauffeur for the whole night by the hour, from €65 an hour in Business Class with a two-hour minimum.
Schiphol to any address in Amsterdam is a fixed €90 in Business Class, €125 in the seven-seat Van Class and €140 in First Class — taxes included, per car, with the flight tracked and a chauffeur waiting inside the arrivals hall. Going back to Schiphol the fixed prices are €80, €85 and €90.
The Van Class takes up to seven passengers and seven bags in one car, with captain chairs and walk-in headroom. For a larger party dispatch stages several cars to arrive together at Centrale Markthal, with one contact for the whole group rather than a separate booking per car.
Message dispatch on WhatsApp and the pickup time moves. It is one number, answered around the clock in English, and once a chauffeur is assigned you have his line too. There is no surge pricing at four in the morning — the fare was agreed when you booked.
