House of Dialogue
House of Dialogue – exterior of the restored Bensdorp chocolate factory in Bussum
House of Dialogue is a characterful events, meetings and workshop venue in Bussum, set inside the iconic Bensdorp chocolate factory where chocolate has been made since 1884. The monumental building has been fully renovated into a modern, inspiring environment while keeping its original industrial details.
With 900 m² across multiple halls and a series of characterful breakout rooms, it is built for strategy days, trainings, workshops and client events where teams need focus and easy collaboration. Guests are personally hosted throughout the day — from welcome and room set-up to catering and the flow of the programme.
The venue sits in the heart of Bussum, is easily accessible, and offers on-site catering, a dedicated podcast studio and flexible spaces in a range of styles and sizes.
