AGM2026

Some ships tell stories, and then some ships are stories. The SS Rotterdam is one of those rare vessels that bridges the gap between past and present, between a world that has long since disappeared and a future that continues to look back at her in awe. Built as Holland America Line’s flagship and launched in 1958, she was the last Dutch Ship of State and remains one of the most successful ocean liners ever constructed. Unlike so many of her contemporaries, she was not lost to the scrapyard. Instead, she was saved, preserved, and lovingly restored. Today, she stands in the heart of Rotterdam as a floating hotel and museum – a living monument to an era when ships were more than just transport; they were icons of national pride.

The Product Identification Training for authorities is in “Market Style.”

Book a table with us to display your samples and train authorities (we expect around 150 attendees from across Europe) to recognize counterfeit products. We have one table per member, accommodating around 70 members in total during the three time slots. We always give priority to new members.

The training event falls on the same day as the speed dates (short sessions with our offices and/or partners), but by scheduling it right, you can attend both!

The three times slots for the product identification training are: 

• “Early morning” 2h slot from 8:30 till 10:30
• “Mid-day” 2h slot from 11:00 till 13:00
• “All day” 4h slot from 9:00 till 13:00

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON TIME

2h slot cost €250 & the 4h slot cost €400.
This includes the table, venue rental, coffee/tea/snacks, and lunch.

TIP: Combine your training with some speed dates with our offices and partners right before and/or after your training!

On Fridays, our teams and partners are available for a speed date —an excellent opportunity to discuss essential topics face-to-face and catch up.

TIP: The speed dates fall on the same day as the training event, but you can combine them to make the most of your Friday.

Bookings with the teams and partners are handled via email. The list of React partners will be updated here!
