Beeckestijn Business School concludes Connected Partnership with Onemeeting.com

PRESS RELEASE • Amersfoort, 31 January 2023

As of 1 February, Beeckestijn Business School is entering into a Connected Partnership with Onemeeting.com to rent out its training rooms to other companies when they are not in use. In this way, Beeckestijn joins the mission to reduce the vacancy rate of real estate in the Netherlands. Onemeeting.com helps Beeckestijn to position and sell its spaces on the business meeting market with their unique meeting management formula. With this, Onemeeting.com accelerates the development of companies with vacant spaces into full-fledged Meeting Centers.

Meeting Centre
“Sharing our location with others is a real win-win situation. It is precisely the beautiful place, surrounded by greenery, that is relaxing for everyone,” says Chantal Schouten, Customer Service & Operations at Beeckestijn Business School. “Onemeeting.com has helped us enormously to shape a sales proposition for our rooms, something that we would never have started or could have done ourselves. Precisely because they have so much experience in operating meeting rooms, it immediately felt familiar.” From March 1, 2023, the first guests will be received in Beeckestijn Meeting Center.

Spaces should not be left unused
“We notice that every square meter is important in the Netherlands. It is no longer of this time to have (meeting) rooms that are only for personal use. These are often empty for part of the week, which costs companies money on the one hand and is extremely inefficient on the other,” says Kevin van Grondelle, Chief Business Development Officer at Onemeeting.com. “We believe that things can be done differently, but above all it must be done. We are trying to accelerate this with Connected by helping companies such as Beeckestijn Business School to turn their spaces into a sales concept, write a proposition for it and then introduce Onemeeting System. By outsourcing reservations, sales, marketing and administration, we were able to develop a full-fledged Meeting Center in just a few weeks.”

Get CONNECTEDTM
“CONNECTED TM is an exclusive collaboration with meeting room providers who want to be completely commercially unburdened. This means that the meeting room providers make their rooms available for rent and Onemeeting.com deals with the sale and rental of these rooms, including the marketing, bookings and payments for the meeting rooms,” says Kevin van Grondelle Chief Business Development Officer.

Accelerated real estate transformation
Onemeeting.com is unique in the meeting market due to its CONNECTED partnerships and has initiated several of these partnerships in the Netherlands. Since the establishment of its Business Development department in 2022, Onemeeting.com advises dozens of real estate owners, facility service providers, caterers, theatres, SMEs and multinationals on how to transform their square meters into profitable meeting rooms. Onemeeting.com's focus for the future is on accelerating this transformation to usable square footage.
