Amsterdam — Week of 20 Jul 2026

AI Builders Amsterdam is a community of AI engineers, founders and makers who meet to share what they're actually building. This edition gathers around 100 people at StartDock's canalside coworking space near Central Station for live tech demos from developers and founders, candid talk about what's working in production, and plenty of time to network. Strictly for people who build — if you're shipping with LLMs, agents or applied ML, this is the room to be in.

Mollie — one of Europe's leading payments and fintech companies — opens its Amsterdam canal-house HQ for its annual developer summer session. Expect technical talks from Mollie's engineering team and the wider community, hands-on insight into building payment and platform integrations, and relaxed summer-evening networking with developers, engineers and product people from across the Amsterdam tech scene. A genuine fixture for anyone working on payments, APIs, web performance or platform engineering — and a rare chance to get inside one of the city's flagship scale-ups.

A relaxed Friday-night mixer for people who work in tech, AI, data and IT across Amsterdam, held at Bierfabriek — the long-running brewpub on Nes in the city centre. No panels, no pitches: just afterwork drinks and open conversation with engineers, data scientists, security people, product managers and startup operators, plus the career-changers and recent graduates trying to break in. The organisers run parallel Discord and WhatsApp communities so you can see who's coming before you turn up. A dependable low-stakes way to widen your Amsterdam tech network on a quiet summer week.
