About the Venue
One of the oldest Shell offices in the Netherlands is located at Carel van Bylandtlaan 30 (C16) in The Hague. This stately building dates from 1917 and has the status of a national monument. Shell has completely renovated the building and prepared it for the future, with sustainability as a top priority.
Old on the outside, new on the inside. The renovation must bridge the gap between the monumental character and at the same time meet the wishes for future work. Just as the building was a model of modernity on the inside when it opened in 1917.
