This will be the 6th time that we are gathering together at De Hoof since 2017, and we are full of anticipation of what the Lord will speak during this weekend together.

Location and Travel

This year the conference will be in Someren, the Netherlands at a conference centre called De Hoof.

Airports and Trains

De Hoof is not far from Eindhoven Airport in the Netherlands and Dusseldorf Airport in Germany.  One of the shuttle locations, Helmond Train Station, is on the direct train line from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam.  We recommend using a service like Google Maps or Rome2Rio to figure out the best way for you to get to De Hoof, if you are traveling via public transport.

Shuttles

If you need a shuttle, you can book this service for an additional 15 €. Please ensure that your arrival and departure times match with what we can offer below, otherwise we will refund your shuttle payment and you will need to make your own arrangements.

We will send out a request for your up-to-date travel arrangements as soon as registration closes on March 3rd. We will need your response soon after that deadline. Once you know that you will attend the conference, we recommend that you finalize your conference travel plans as soon as possible.

There will be a shuttle provided from Helmond Train Station and Eindhoven Airport to the conference venue on Friday, March 21, 2025 between 16:00 and 19:30. If you are arriving outside of those times, please make your own arrangements to get to the venue using public transportation or Uber/taxi services. If you have any questions or are struggling to figure out how to get to the venue, please email us at events@unistudents.eu

A shuttle will also be provided from the venue to Helmond Train Station and Eindhoven Airport on Sunday, March 23, 2025. A coach will depart to Eindhoven Airport from the conference venue at 13:30 (there will be no later shuttle), with shuttles to Helmond Train Station departing at approximately the same time. If you need to depart earlier on Sunday, please email us at events@unistudents.eu and we will let you know whether we can assist or if you will need to make your own travel arrangements.

Coach from London

The deadline to reserve your seat is Lord’s Day, 16 March 2025.

May the Lord grant each one of us to find mercy and receive grace (Heb. 4:16) to have a keen ear (Rev. 1:10), to be in the right spiritual position (Rev. 1:12), to have a sprinkled and cleansed conscience (Heb. 10:22; 1 John 1:9), a pure heart (Matt. 5:8; 1 Tim. 1:5), and to be poor in spirit (Matt. 5:3) to receive freshly from the Lord, without bias or spiritual pride (Rev. 3:16-20), what He wants to speak to our generation.
