From canals to culinary delights: Amsterdam hosts Pb2025
February 24, 2025
There are many reasons to visit the Dutch capital – apart from the fact that it is the host city for Pb2025 this year.
If you have never tasted Stoopwafel then prepare for a treat. This national treasure is a waffle filled with caramel then pressed in a waffle-iron. It is just one of the culinary delights on offer in this famous city.
And art lovers will be delighted by the city’s collection of Rembrandt and Van Gogh masterpieces on show in the national museum.

The city – sometimes dubbed the Venice of the north for its elaborate canal system – is also known for its commitment to sustainability and innovation making it an ideal setting for Pb2025, an event that brings together industry leaders, experts, and professionals from around the world.

Amsterdam is home to numerous research institutions, technology hubs, and companies driving progress in energy storage and circular economy initiatives. When you attend Pb2025, you will be connecting with a broader network of experts and stakeholders who are shaping the future of the lead industry and the lead value chain.
One of the reasons Amsterdam stands out as a conference destination is its excellent connectivity. Schiphol Airport, one of the busiest and best-connected airports in Europe, offers direct flights to major cities worldwide, making travel easy for our global attendees. Once in the city, the well-organised public transport system – including trams, buses, and bicycles – ensures smooth and efficient travel between the conference venue, hotels, and key attractions.

Our venue for Pb2025 provides a professional and comfortable setting, fostering discussions, networking and knowledge sharing.
Beyond the conference centre, Amsterdam offers a wealth of cultural and leisure activities. From the picturesque canals and historic architecture to world-renowned museums there is plenty to explore.
The city is also known for its vibrant dining scene, with a mix of Michelin-star restaurants, cozy cafés, and international cuisine.

We look forward to welcoming you to Pb2025 and sharing all that this incredible city has to offer!
