Get ready to explore one of Europe’s most vibrant and forward-thinking cities. Rotterdam, in the heart of the Netherlands’ southern region, is a buzzing hub of trade, culture, and cutting-edge architecture. Famous for its world-class port and bold skyline, the city blends innovation with rich maritime heritage. From striking buildings and top-tier museums to eclectic dining and creative energy, Rotterdam has something for everyone.

At CCES2026, we’re excited to bring together experts to share sustainable energy knowledge and spark meaningful conversations on skills and solutions driving the energy transition. This year, we’re also stepping up our commitment to sustainability—aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of hosting in-person events.

With the venue located right in central Rotterdam, we encourage all attendees to choose greener travel options as part of this shared journey towards a low-carbon future.
