Castro Events

A sneak peek at the various events we've hosted recently!

100 days of European Parliament

How would the newly elected MEPs fare? What are their first experiences and is it as expected? On Thursday, September 12, together with Johnson & Johnson, we organized a meeting about this at the Holland House Brussels.

In a packed Holland House, Anouk van Brug (MEP VVD/Renew Europe), Brigitte van den Berg (MEP D66/Renew Europe) and Jessika van Leeuwen (MEP BBB BoerBurgerBeweging/European People's Party), led by our Stefan de Bruijn and Koen Venekamp, talked about how they have now landed in Brussels and how they are trying in their own way to keep the connection with the Netherlands strong.

EU Election Debate

We organized the EU Election Debate 2024 ahead of the European Parliament elections on June 6, at Square Brussels Convention Centre.

More than a hundred people in the hall and many thousands of online viewers (also promoted through De Telegraaf) were able to watch four MEPs open the 2024 European election campaign: Dirk Gotink (NSC list leader), Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy (D66 list leader), Jessika van Leeuwen (BBB candidate) and Lennart Salemink (VVD candidate).

Health Debate 2023

In October 2023, we were commissioned by J&J Innovative Medicine Netherlands, Amgen and MSD to organize the Healthcare Debate 2023. The event was a great success! We reached thousands of online participants, both through our own website and sponsored on De Telegraaf's website.

The lineup was impressive, with five prominent candidate MPs: Sophie Hermans (VVD), Mona Keijzer (BBB), Fleur Agema (PVV), Julian Bushoff (GroenLinks-PvdA) and Bart van den Brink (CDA). The presentation was excellently handled by Humberto Tan, with Frits Huffnagel as enthusiastic co-host. The debate can be viewed on Youtube.
