RIVER
FRIENDS
MOMENTS
THE RIVER INDUSTRY, IN GOOD COMPANY.
Big hearts. Bright ideas. Great Network. Two informal gatherings each year in Basel.
YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP
No name tags.
No networking pressure.
Just people who
understand the river.
River Friends began with a small circle of Dutch colleagues in Basel. Today, it brings together around 280 people from across the river community, including cruise and cargo operators, charter companies, authorities, catering partners, agencies, and associations.
The most important part is not exchanging business cards. It is building genuine connections through conversations that feel natural, generous, and worthwhile. Conversations that inspire new ideas, strengthen relationships, and celebrate the people, stories, and spirit of the river.

STAY IN THE FLOW.
The most valuable connections often begin with a simple conversation. We look forward to welcoming new Friends and continuing to grow our international river community.
