FIDI CO N F E RE N C E THE FINAL COUNTDOWN Laura Rossignoli, FIDI Events Officer, gives us a whistle-stop round-up of key events at the 2019 annual FIDI Conference LAURA ROSSIGNOLI, FIDI EVENTS OFFICER FIDI 39 CLUB PARTY Take note and save the date: this year, the FIDI 39 Club will host its annual party on Saturday 30 March. Amsterdam is a city that never sleeps, but the best parties take place on Saturday night. To get a true sense of the city, the FIDI 39 Club Board decided to move its party to earlier in the Conference programme, to allow delegates to plan personal dinners and activities on the traditional Tuesday evening without having to miss the party. The evening will start with a visit to the House of Bols museum, where you will be given a tour and finish with a cocktail-making class. Bols has been around since 1575 and claims WW W. F I D I.

During this interactive experience you will find out everything there is to know about how genever conquered the world during the Dutch Golden Age roughly spanning the 17th century and get to mix n match more than 30 flavours on offer. The party will then head to the Jimmy Woo club, where we have reserved a private space for the 39 Club. You will start the evening with a DJ, open bar and some snacks, ready to dance the night away. The luxurious Jimmy Woo club opened its doors in December 2003 and quickly gained worldwide fame because of its strict door policy and the many celebrity guests that it attracted. It is also famous for its interior decoration and one-of-a-kind sound system: Jimmy Woo holds the Dutch Design and Best Club Sound in The Netherlands prizes. The FIDI 39 Club party is open to all attendees and the members of its Board are looking forward to seeing you on the dancefloor! 25 24/01/2019 13:34
