Where strangers turn into real connections

Last Thursday’s Internationals Networking Event definitely did not disappoint. We had a full room of people, a strong mix of service providers, plenty of great conversations going on and many new connections being made.

Some of our favourite reactions:
· “Such a meaningful experience”
· “A great opportunity for genuine connection”
· “Such a welcoming event with a warm atmosphere”

Moments like these remind us why this work matters.

For many internationals, building a network, finding your way in a new country and feeling at home doesn’t happen overnight. It needs the right place, the right moment and the right people. Bring those together and something special happens. That’s exactly what we aim to create at Utrecht International Center.

Thank you to everyone who joined; you made the evening special.

Great energy, great conversations.

Last week’s Get-Together at Bar Danel brought together a vibrant mix of internationals. With a fantastic turnout and lots of energy, it was a great reminder of how valuable these moments are.

And don’t just take our word for it; this is what some of our visitors shared:

“The networking games gives you contact with people you would not choose to talk to."

"Easy to connect with people, well organized. Inviting character.”

“I wish there are more events like this one. It was really fun”
