Location

The final conference will be held at Conference Center ‘De Bazel’, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

History

De Bazel, named after its architect Karel de Bazel (1869-1923), was build between 1919 en 1926 for the ‘Nederlandsche Handelmaatschappij’ (Dutch Trading Company). The building was officially granted national monument status by the Dutch government in 1991 for  its rich colonial history, art deco architecture and the theosophical message the architect wanted to convey. The Dutch Trading Company (NHM),  founded by King Willem I in 1824, had to stimulate the reclining Dutch economy in the nineteenth century. It was mostly active in the trade of colonial goods and is therefore seen as the successor of the famous ‘Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie’ (VOC).
