Safe Covid Entry (Updated on 15-11-2021)
Positive news! Free From 2021 is good to go! Our doors will safely open on November 23. The new set of COVID-19 measures announced by the Dutch Government have limited impact for B2B events that take place at RAI Amsterdam. Our COVID-19 protocol ensures that Free From 2021 can take place in a safe and responsible way. See you at Free From Amsterdam Edition 2021!
To enter the Free From Exhibition, you must first register to receive a ticket. To gain access to the event, you need a valid corona entry pass and a valid identity card. As corona entry pass we use the EU Digital Covid Certificate (DCC). This digital certificate is received when you have a valid negative Covid test, have been fully vaccinated or have recovered from Covid-19. In the Netherlands we use the CoronaCheck-app to show the DCC. A valid paper version is also accepted. This also applies to visitors from countries outside Europe where a certificate other than the DCC is used.
