Hacker & Maker Events in Amsterdam

This is the culture-heavy corner of the European tech event calendar: hackerspaces, community congresses, outdoor hacker camps, and the maker-faire circuit. It traces a lineage back to the Chaos Computer Club and has grown into one of Europe's most distinctive community-event traditions. Equivalents exist elsewhere in the world, but few are as long-running or as well-attended as the European ones.

This page narrows the Amsterdam calendar to Hacker & Maker 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.
