Amsterdam’s Koepelkerk (meaning roughly “domed church” in Dutch) is one of the main landmarks on the city’s skyline. Koepelkerk has been around since the 17th century and it’s been painted by the legendary Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh, but today it’s far from your typical church.
Since 1975, the Koepelkerk has been rented by the Renaissance Marriott and they’ve renovated the church so it can be used for parties and business meetings. When I stopped by the hotel the church was set up for a technology conference and I got to see how the three hundred year-old organ is used to show Powerpoint presentations using a projection screen. This is the only place I could imagine seeing a powerpoint presentation at a business meeting that wouldn’t bore me to death.
