Segments of this annual report contain opinions regarding the future. These segments can – without limitations – contain expectations on future realised and unrealised results, profits, payments, government measures, the impact of other regulating measures on the activities of RAI Amsterdam, subsidiaries and macro-economic trends and the performance of RAI Amsterdam. Such statements are preceded or followed by or include terms such as ‘believe’, ‘expect’, ‘prognosticate’, ‘feel’, ‘anticipate’ or similar. These future-oriented statements are based on current assumptions of future activities and are subject to known and unknown factors and other uncertainties, many of which are outside RAI Amsterdam’s sphere of influence. This means that future results can, in fact, differ substantively from these expectations. In view of Title 9, Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code, the information given in the sections ‘In brief' 'Governance and risk management', 'About reporting' and 'Annexes' is also part of the section ‘Report by the management’. For reasons of presentation, this information is not repeated in this section. Index .................................................................................................1.

Colophon 134 #01 Welcome to the RAI! • Foreword • Profile • Strategy and value creation • Key figures • Composition of the Supervisory Board • Composition of the Executive Board 4 Foreword Assessing, learning and improving: the roadmap to building the future of RAI Amsterdam It is our pleasure to present you with this annual report for 2019. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our society and the RAI, last year now seems a very long time ago. At the time of writing no events are taking place at our venue and many have been moved to later dates. This is asking a great deal in terms of resilience while also underlining our solidarity – characteristics that are and will remain crucial to the realisation of major events. We are proud of everyone at the RAI as they manage this unprecedented situation in very limiting conditions. And it is in the same spirit that we offer you this annual report. The year 2019 saw us welcome and organise a great many events. Take our series of successful Aquatech shows in Amsterdam, China and Mexico. The RAI is a global leader in the water technology sector, enabling us to contribute to the UN’s global development goals. A new aspect of Aquatech in Amsterdam last year was the Forum we organised a day before the event itself started. This was a prime example of the way we expand events and create more opportunities for inspiring meetings. Aquatech is the ideal illustration of our approach, being a global market leader in a growing trade sector. As we enhance the Amsterdam event we also ensure the preservation and growth of the overarching exhibition title. In 2019, we organised GreenTech for the first time as an annual rather than a biennial event. We started the year with our very own Horecava. We welcomed ISE, Provada and countless other trade events, along with consumer exhibitions like VT Wonen, Pan Amsterdam and our own Huishoudbeurs / Nine Month Fair. Many IT conferences such as SPARK also returned to the RAI in 2019. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte spoke at the World Retail Congress and there was a clear increase in the number of medical events, including the EHA and ECCMID conferences. The musical CATS, the Musical Awards Gala and Jumping Amsterdam were featured in our programming too. Our doors are always open to trade and consumer events, but did you know that a large number of students took their VU university exams in the RAI? Moreover, some 25,000 children visited the RAI for vaccinations, and we participated in a wealth of social sponsoring and other

Inspired by the beautiful city of Amsterdam with its many channels and bridges, the theme of the congress will be “building bridges”. We hope and anticipate that organizing the 6th ECI around this theme, will enthuse bridging between different immunological disciplines, between basic, translational and clinical science, young- and established immunologists, and, most and for all, will inspire and help building bridges across Europe, European immunology and European immunologists. For this we will not only include interactive sessions, but will also keep the registration fees for students at the same level as in Vienna and Glasgow. The Dutch Society of Immunology has celebrated his 50th birthday last year, and has traditionally been strong in basic, translational and clinical immunology. Its membership number is well above 1300 members. These members do not only include senior investigators, group leaders and clinicians, but also about 400 graduate students and more than 100 research technicians.
