About the RDM
The Loft can be found in the Innovation Dock at the RDM in Rotterdam, a historic location where ships such as the SS Rotterdam used to be built. Today, the old machine building hall has been transformed into a breeding ground for innovation, where you can walk past robot arms, 3D printers and other technological developments. The Loft itself is located on the attic floor, once the RDM training centre, with a beautiful view over the Dokhaven. An inspiring environment where history and innovation come together.

Is the Loft accessible for the disabled?
The Loft is located on the first floor of the Innovation Dock. This floor can be reached by elevator. The nearest disabled parking spaces are located about a hundred meters from the elevator. If this is too far for you, you can also go to the entrance on the waterfront be dropped. This is about twenty meters from the elevator. The disabled toilet is located on the ground floor next to the elevator.
How accessible is it by public transport?
RDM Next is easily accessible by public transport. RDM Next is located outside the centre of Rotterdam, so keep in mind that it will take you 15 minutes to half an hour to get to RDM from the centre. RDM Next can be reached by bus, ferry and water taxi. From Rotterdam Centrum, the fastest way is to take a water taxi, which you will need to book in advance. For other options, see https://rdmnext.nl/route/
How accessible is it by car?
RDM Next is very easy to reach by car; you can reach RDM from the highway within five minutes. Parking is available in the large parking lot next to the Innovation Dock and is free. Charging stations are also available.
What about parking?
At RDM Next you can park in the spacious parking lot with more than 1000 spaces. If you are organizing a larger event and are worried about parking, there are alternative parking options within a five-minute walk. At RDM Next we also offer support through parking management. From the parking lot you are in the building within a minute, and in any room within five minutes. Charging stations and disabled parking spaces are located at the entrance of the building.
Is it possible to stay overnight nearby?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to stay overnight within walking distance of RDM Next. It is possible to book a water taxi to SS Rotterdam, Nhow, Witte de With street (Leuvehaven stop) or another hotel on the Nieuwe Maas. This way it takes 5 to 10 minutes to get to a hotel.
Can I bring my own caterer?
Yes, although we strongly prefer our own suppliers. We aim for high quality and enjoy working with parties that can meet our expectations. If you want to bring your own caterer, a contribution applies.
What are the cancellation conditions?
The cancellation conditions are set out in Article 15 of the RDM Next General Terms and Conditions and are as follows:
- If you cancel 6 to 5 weeks in advance, 25% of the quoted amount will be charged.
- If you cancel at least 4-3 weeks in advance, 50% will be charged of the quoted amount.
- If you cancel at least 2-1 weeks in advance, 75% of the quoted amount will be charged.
- If you cancel at least 1 week in advance, 100% of the quoted amount will be charged.
In other words: If you cancel closer to your event or workshop, you are still obliged to pay for your event. Reasons for this are that suppliers and staff also have to be canceled at the last minute, and that it is more difficult to rent out the space at short notice. We often try to accommodate you a little, for example by offering a discount on your next event.
