From September 8 to 10, 2025, Amsterdam will host one of the most influential events in corporate real estate — the CoreNet Global Summit. Under the theme “Innovate to Thrive,” the summit will bring together professionals from around the world to discuss the future of workspaces, ESG, digital transformation, and sustainable development.
A Premier Industry Event Comes to Amsterdam
The summit will take place at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre (Europaplein 24, 1078 GZ), located in the city’s business district. Over three days, more than 2,000 participants from 50 countries are expected to attend — including global corporate real estate directors, PropTech entrepreneurs, architects, and investors.
CoreNet Global positions the summit as a platform for shaping the future of corporate real estate. In Amsterdam, participants will explore cutting-edge concepts in hybrid offices, sustainable urban ecosystems, and technology-driven workplace transformation.

Many sessions will be CEU-certified, offering participants professional development credits.
Amsterdam as a Living Innovation Lab
Amsterdam is a natural choice for the summit — a city known for sustainable urbanism and smart design. Attendees will see firsthand how buildings with a negative carbon footprint, 15-minute city principles, and micro-mobility are already integrated into daily life.
