Startup Events in Amsterdam
Startup events in Europe span everything from the headline conferences (Slush in Helsinki, Web Summit in Lisbon, The Next Web in Amsterdam, VivaTech in Paris, Bits & Pretzels in Munich, Wolves Summit, Latitude59) down to the weekly rhythm of pitch nights, founder coffee mornings, investor AMAs, and product-management meetups that every significant tech city sustains.
This page narrows the Amsterdam calendar to Startup events. It's a subset of Netherlands's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.
Amsterdam runs one of the strongest applied-AI event calendars in Europe. The city is full of product engineering teams actually shipping AI features, which shows up as depth in LLM integration, agent, RAG, and evaluation-focused meetups. Product management and design events are also unusually strong here (The Next Web, Mind The Product, Config EU satellites), as is the data-engineering scene around dbt and Snowflake.
Upcoming Startup events in Amsterdam
Vibe Coding Meetup: Open mic edition (drinks courtesy of ASAL Startup Studio)
Amsterdam, 🇳🇱 Netherlands
​Last hang before the summer break. The plan is simple: catch up, share what we're building, and take stock of how far the tools have come in a year. I'll also walk through what we learned running a hackathon for 400 students. What worked, what broke, what surprised us.
​
The night:
- ​Quick intros and what people are building
- ​A few short demos and stories from anyone who wants to share
- ​Open networking and drinks
​Bring a project, a question, or just yourself. No prep needed.
Drinks courtesy of ASAL Startup Studio, powered by ASAL Technologies. They help founders turn rough prototypes into real products: POCs, MVPs, full builds. 25 years in software, 450+ engineers, clients like Cadence and Synopsys. Worth a chat if your Lovable build is starting to outgrow what you can ship solo.
​Hosted by Dima Abramov, Product Lead and Lovable Ambassador. Working on craftingproduct.io.
