Kingpins Amsterdam

announces venue change

for 2020

Kingpins Show has announced that it will relocate its Kingpins Amsterdam show from Westergasfabriek to
SugarCity, for the April 2020 show.

The move will grow Kingpins Amsterdam's venue area by more than 40%, from a 70,000-square-foot space to
a 100,000 square foot space. The added area will give organizers the flexibility to add new features to the
show and evolve some of its key areas, to better serve exhibitors and attendees, Kingpins said.

“Our original Amsterdam venue has seen us grow from a show with barely 37 exhibitors to one with more than
100 exhibitors and nearly a dozen activations in six years,” said Andrew Olah, founder of Kingpins Show.
Kingpins said that the move does not affect the show’s schedule, and that the Kingpins Amsterdam 2020
show will still be held on April 22 and 23, and then again on October 28 and 29.
