About Excel Events

We organize team building and complete team days from Arnhem. Not to "check off a nice outing," but to really get teams moving: with fun, energy and a clear return for the workplace.

This is Excel. We build teams that want to grow (with action as well as fun).

We are Excel Events: a professional organization for (outdoor) team building and complete team days based in Arnhem. Our workshops can be organized anywhere and are accessible to everyone; without survival stuff, but with energy, interaction and a clear return on investment.

We understand how important this choice is.

Our passion

At Excel Events we strive to create valuable experiences where people really touch and shine together. By doing something they haven’t done together before.

Grow and prosper your team - with personal attention and maximum focus.

Why team building (as we mean it)

Teams are the heart of a strong organization. Satisfied team members make for satisfied customers.

A team’s success depends primarily on relationships. Paying attention to them creates positive energy. Teams work better together: with more fun and with better performance.

We consider each group unique and we seriously build teams, with action and fun.

For teams who want to be the best they can be.

Working together? Gladly!

We are happy with long-term collaborations: with team coaches as well as with cool outdoor locations in Gelderland.
Team Day
For team coaches
You bring the trajectory and the content. We bring energy, work forms, safety and tight execution. We align with your themes (communication, trust, leadership, etc.) and make sure the work forms strengthen your process.

What you can expect from us

For outdoor locations in Gelderland

Do you have a beautiful outdoor venue (or waterfront/forest/heath) and want to host corporate groups more often? We bring recurring bookings and hassle-free services into execution.

What we need

We cooperate with

Who we are

We're not a mass agency. You get a small, committed team that likes to get things done well AND have fun. Led by:

Jouke van Dijk

Excel Events was founded in 2017 by Jouke van Dijk. In the previous 15 years he was director-owner of one of the largest outdoor event agencies in the Netherlands (±1000 groups per year) and commercial manager at the world’s largest hotel family.


During his MBA studies, he explored the space between a “fun” team building and a “serious/educational” team training. Based on that, Excel Events developed workshops that revolve around content, energy and interaction.


An example is our Outdoor Method with experiential learning: targeted, short-cycle assignments that are simple, not physically demanding, but powerful. The participants are central.
This is how we distinguish ourselves from survival-type activities (no Camp van Koningsbrugge 😉 ) and from the standard team outing.

Angelique van Dijk

Angelique works in elementary education as a quality coordinator and is the boxing coach at Excel Events. She specializes in behavior and resilience.

A certified DISC trainer, she also works as a team coach and with drives. With her black belt karate and experience in various combat and defense sports, she makes the translation to human behavior, communication and cooperation.
