A lot is different this year, but there is one thing we don’t want to change… and that is giving you and your family a warm welcome to your new hometown Rotterdam.

This event is especially for new expats coming to the Rotterdam region. Since the event is virtually this year, your family abroad is also very welcome to join and learn more about your new hometown.

In the first part Rotterdam Expat Centre will show you how to tap into all this potential that Rotterdam offers you and your family. You will learn more about Rotterdam, the Dutch culture and its habits. In the second part you get the opportunity to meet and network virtually with fellow expats and expat communities. In the final part you may decide to follow additional workshops whereby experts share more on topics such as the Dutch health system, Dutch tax system or give tips how to start your career in The Netherlands as a spouse.
