IDAHOT+ Forum 2024
Agency: Obsession
End Client: IDAHOT+
Location: Art gallery Pulchri en De Grote Kerk, Den Haag
Conference on the Rights and Position of LGBTQI+ Individuals
The IDAHOT+ Forum, focused on the rights of the LGBTQI+ community in Europe, attracted 250 participants, including policymakers, experts, and activists. Held from May 14 to 16 in The Hague, Obsession, in collaboration with Solid Rental, played a crucial role in bringing the event to life. Iconic locations in the city, such as the Grote Kerk and Pulchri Art Gallery, were transformed into dynamic event spaces. Through the signing of an important ministerial declaration by 32 European countries, Solid Rental contributed to making history.
Project overview
For the various settings at Pulchri West, multiple floorplans were developed to provide the client with a clear understanding of the layout and possibilities of the venue. Additionally, the acoustics and logistics of De Grote Kerk presented a challenge, but thanks to the presence of experienced professionals and thorough preparation, we were able to create a well-thought-out plan.

IDAHOT+ Forum: Successful steps towards a more Inclusive Europe
The IDAHOT+ Forum showcased the current state of LGBTQI+ human rights across Europe. One of the highlights was the spectacular dinner at De Grote Kerk. Additionally, speakers such as Her Majesty Queen Máxima, Minister Dijkstra (OCW), and European Commissioner Dalli (Equality) delivered powerful and impactful speeches.
"We look back on a very successful edition. Thanks to the dedication, flexibility, and excellent organization of Obsession, we were able to fully focus on the content. This led to an event that directly contributed to the improvement of LGBTQI+ rights and their position in Europe. This is what we’re here for. The forum not only provided new insights, but also paved the way for concrete steps towards a more inclusive Europe." – Nancy de Klerk, Senior Policy Advisor, Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science.
