Now, my caveat, is that Amsterdam is not a particularly large city. So, with my limited knowledge of that area (since I usually UBER if going to an event at the Music Hall etc.); from Courtyard to Rai Convention Center would be a 20 minute bike ride, 14 minute UBER ride or a 10 minute (or so) Metro Ride (+walk 5 minutes on both ends) taking the #50 metro from Amsterdam, Station Bijlmer ArenA (Metro 50 towards Isolatorweg) to Amsterdam, Station RAI.

I "thought" originally this hotel was convenient to RAI, but it is really only convenient to the performance venues as noted above.

Regarding UBER, you are looking at a sub €10 fare if you are willing to take uberPOP from the Courtyard to RAI.

for reference used the following as the addresses :
Hoogoorddreef 1, 1101 DT Amsterdam Zuid-Oost to RAI Amsterdam, Europaplein 22, 1078 GZ Amsterdam
