Background
In 1999 Prime Ministers Wim Kok and Tony Blair agreed to instigate a bilateral conference: the Apeldoorn Conference. Their objective was to bring together a representative and informed group from the UK and the Netherlands on a regular basis to reflect on issues of political relevance and shared concern. The first conference took place in 2000 in Apeldoorn, from which the conference series took its name.

Young Apeldoorn Conference
When Foreign Ministers Jack Straw and Jozias van Aartsen met in 2002, they agreed to build on this success by establishing the Young Apeldoorn Conference. They wanted to bring together those young people whose views and decisions will affect Anglo-Dutch and European cultural, political and economic relations over the next decade. On 18-19 March 2004, the first Young Apeldoorn Conference was held at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London.

Partners
The Conference series is organised by the British Council Netherlands, the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
