Tadgh as you have been there a few times perhaps you might recommend a hotel near the event and maybe give a few pointers as to how to make the best use of the time at the show.
No shortage of hotels in Amsterdam, stay anywhere as its easy to access the trams which will get you out to the RAI where the exhibition is held, as said earlier check the exhibitor list which shows all the companies exhibiting and the products they promote, this can make your visit a lot more productive as otherwise you can find it head wrecking as there is so much to see, i always go armed with the suppliers booth number and their hall number and find this always works best, other tip is visit the suppliers on your own as they will provide you with more time and information, then get the tram back to your hotel after having a productive days work and after that what happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam.
