About Nationale Haringpartij
Founded in 1961, the Nationale Haringpartij began as a uniquely Dutch initiative to celebrate the start of the herring season, but quickly evolved into something far larger. Based in Utrecht, Netherlands, this foundation organizes what is recognized as the oldest informal communication and networking event in the country. The annual gathering at Kasteel de Haar in Haarzuilens is not just a culinary tradition; it is a deliberate platform for creating lasting, informal connections between government, business, and culture. Over six decades, the Nationale Haringpartij has cemented its role as a staple of Dutch public relations and social enterprise, blending heritage with modern networking.
A Tradition of Informal Connection
At its core, the Nationale Haringpartij is a public relations and communications event designed to foster genuine, face-to-face relationships. Unlike formal conferences or trade shows, this event prioritizes the informal encounter, where representatives from the royal house, national politics, foreign embassies, the business community, media, and the arts can meet without rigid agendas. The foundation’s social mission is explicit: to build bridges across sectors, with a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusivity. By doing so, it ensures the tradition of the Hollandse Nieuwe herring is not only preserved but also made relevant for future generations. The atmosphere is one of community and connection, where the focus is on the quality of interaction rather than transactional outcomes.
Services and Event Offerings
The Nationale Haringpartij specializes in high-level event management and strategic networking. While the flagship event is the annual herring presentation, the foundation’s work extends throughout the year through its Corporate Membership program.
