West-Indisch Huis

The 2nd International Expert Meeting on HIV Prevention for MSM, WSW and Transgenders will be held in the West-Indisch Huis ("West India House"), constructed in 1617. The West-Indisch Huis is the former headquarters of the Dutch West India Company (WIC) in Amsterdam. It was in this building, in 1625, that the WIC governors ordered the construction of a fort on the island of Manhattan, laying the foundations for New York City.

The West-Indisch Huis is located on the Herenmarkt, a small square between Haarlemmerstraat and the Brouwersgracht canal in the centre of Amsterdam.
