Tech Policy & Ethics Events in Amsterdam
European tech-policy and ethics events have grown into their own circuit, driven largely by the AI conversation and by the continent's unusually active relationship with tech regulation. This page covers the bigger conversations about technology rather than the hands-on building: AI governance, AI ethics, responsible-AI leadership, digital ethics, tech-in-society discussions, and the intersection of AI with education, law, and public institutions.
This page narrows the Amsterdam calendar to Tech Policy & Ethics 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.

UX Monthly: Responsible AI and the role of design
Amsterdam, 🇳🇱 Netherlands
Digital technologies have a growing environmental and social impact, one that will continue to increase as systems scale and evolve. This shift challenges the role of designers, who can no longer focus solely on user needs but must consider the broader ecosystem in which technology operates. As AI accelerates these dynamics, its influence is shaped not only by technology itself, but by the design choices behind it. This talk explores how design operates across multiple layers, opening a perspective on more responsible approaches to innovation.
