A UFO Has Landed

The Evoluon mostly puts people in mind of a UFO having landed in Eindhoven. Its extraordinary shape, making it look like a UFO, has turned it into an icon in the city of Eindhoven. The building was based on an original idea of Frits Philip. The unusual design meant many calculations were needed to make sure the 77-meter concrete dome was properly supported. Concentric rings line the dome like circular balconies and are now used for events. In the late 1980s, the building was renovated and expanded to be used for receptions and conferences for the Philips company. Later on in the 1990s the Philips Hall auditorium, meeting rooms, and VIP suites were added. The Evoluon is now available for conferences, meetings, and events.

Evoluon Eindhoven History
Originally a science museum, the distinctively designed Evoluon in Eindhoven is now a sleek, modern conference centre. This famous landmark can accommodate up to 1500 visitors. Frits Philips commissioned the Evoluon to commemorate the Philips company’s 75th anniversary in 1966 and gifted it to the public. The Evoluon was extremely popular, attracting over 500,000 visitors in 1970 with its thought-provoking science and technology exhibits that encouraged visitor interaction.

How to get to the Evoluon
Located in the heart of Brabant next to the A2, the Evoluon is most accessible. Den Bosch, Tilburg and Weert are less than half an hour away and Utrecht, Rotterdam or Maastricht not even one hour! The Evoluon is easily accessible by public transport. For this reason, we encourage all delegates and visitors to use public transport as a means of transportation.

You can also borrow a bike at the Eindhoven Central Station for the last mile. With the ‘OV-fiets’ (public transport bike) you will arrive at the Evoluon congress centre within 15 minutes cycling from Eindhoven Central Station.
