IMA NL Company Visit | Witteveen + Bos (30 Apr 2026)

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:30:00 GMT

Bedrijfsbezoek Witteveen+Bos | laat je verrassen

Op donderdag 30 april organiseert IMA Netherlands een exclusief bedrijfsbezoek aan Witteveen+Bos in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Een avond die inhoud, inspiratie en ontmoeting samenbrengt. Precies zoals wij dat bij IMA graag doen.

Dit event wordt aangeboden en georganiseerd in samenwerking met twee van onze leden, Annelies van Ankeren en Sawitri Chandie Shaw. Een prachtig voorbeeld van waar IMA voor staat: verbinding, het delen van best practices en elkaar verder helpen in onze professionele rol.

Waarom je hierbij wilt zijn.

Witteveen+Bos is misschien niet de meest voor de hand liggende organisatie, maar juist dát maakt dit bezoek zo interessant. Het kantoor in Amsterdam is onlangs volledig opnieuw ingericht en vormt het perfecte decor voor een kijkje achter de schermen bij een complexe, projectmatige organisatie.

Tijdens dit bedrijfsbezoek:

krijg je een exclusieve rondleiding door het vernieuwde kantoor
deelt Sawitri open en eerlijk de lessons learned van de kantoorverbouwing
hoor je hoe assistants bij Witteveen+Bos opereren binnen grote projecten
doe je inspiratie op uit iconische infrastructuurprojecten
wissel je ervaringen uit met vakgenoten in een informele setting

Dit is geen theoretisch verhaal, maar praktijk, reflectie en inspiratie, direct toepasbaar in je eigen werk.

Sharing best practices, zoals IMA dat bedoelt.

IMA-events draaien om leren van elkaar. Door leden, mét leden. Dit bedrijfsbezoek laat zien hoe krachtig het is wanneer leden hun organisatie openstellen en kennis delen. Je gaat naar huis met nieuwe inzichten, frisse ideeën en waardevolle contacten.

Praktische informatie

Parkeren: parkeergarage P9 (Antarctica), tarief EUR 3,- per uur. Het kantoor is gelegen op 7 minuten lopen vanaf station Amsterdam Bijlmer Arena
Bijdrage: EUR 15,-

Een inspirerend bedrijfsbezoek, aangeboden door leden, voor leden.

Meld je hier aan!

Både medlemmer og potentielle medlemmer kan deltage i denne Half Training Day.

Styrk din gennemslagskraft med Nanna Vestgård

Hvad er det egentlig, gennemslagskraft er lavet af? Hvorfor lytter vi til nogle, mens andre bliver overhørt? Og hvordan kan du selv få mere gennemslagskraft og respekt, når du tager ordet foran dine kolleger og ledere?

Det er det, vi skal arbejde med på denne workshop, hvor retorisk rådgiver, Nanna Vestgård, vil afsløre hemmeligheden bag de helt konkrete redskaber, som gennemslagskraft består af. Med konkrete råd, eksempler og praktiske øvelser leverer Nanna en underholdende, konkret og motiverende workshop, som ruster alle deltagere til at tage ordet stærkere, klarere og mere overbevisende fremover.

Dear IMA member,

you are invited to celebrate the end of the Summer with our traditional Schueberfouer event.

SAVE the DATE :

September 1st, 2026

Meeting point:

Time: 18h

Reservation exclusively via: marcomofficer@lu.ima-network.org

The Schueberfouer is the largest funfair in Luxembourg and the Greater Region.

From August 21, 2026, to September 9, 2026, visitors flock to the fairground at Champ du Glacis to experience the magical atmosphere of the Luxembourg City funfair, which covers a whopping 4 hectares in the heart of the city.

The Schueberfouer is also a hotbed of popular and innovative gastronomy. Visitors come to eat delicious Gromperekichelcher: the famous quintessentially Luxembourgish potato pancakes.

The City of Luxembourg, which organises the Schueberfouer each year, is proud to offer visitors and locals alike a wonderful mix of tradition, gastronomy and thrills – there’s nothing quite like it anywhere else in Europe
