Tech Events at Mindspace, Amsterdam

AI Tinkerers Amsterdam's November demo night, built around engineers from Mozilla.ai showing agent work. The format is seven-minute lightning demos on agentic systems and orchestration: live code, config and workflow graphs, minimal slides, Q&A after each. Topics on the programme include runtime reliability, observability, cost per task, evaluation and memory, and builders can submit their own demo. Doors 18:00, demos from 18:20, networking from 19:40, close 21:00. Free, but attendance needs organiser approval and the room is capped at 80. Hosted by Mindspace in a former bank building on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal; the exact venue is confirmed to approved attendees. Why go: AI Tinkerers screens for people who actually ship, so the demos are working systems rather than sales decks. Best for engineers, ML people and technical founders putting agents into production.

with Joana Veiga (Global Strategic Design Leader, IKEA Retail) · Chris Allwood (Experience Design Director, Bloom & Wild Group) · Marc Meyer (Partner, In The Pocket)

A panel and Q&A on how large language models are rewriting the shopping journey: search and discovery shifting from SEO towards generative engines, personalisation, brand loyalty, and what that does to online and in-store experience design. Joana Veiga, Global Strategic Design Leader at IKEA Retail, Chris Allwood, Experience Design Director at Bloom & Wild Group, and Marc Meyer, Partner at In The Pocket, take the questions. In The Pocket hosts. Doors 18:00 with drinks and bites, discussion and Q&A from 18:30, networking from 20:00. Free, at Mindspace on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. Seating is deliberately tighter than usual: an RSVP puts you on the waitlist and the organisers confirm attendees after reading the question you submit. Why go: retail and e-commerce teams rarely get practitioners from IKEA, Bloom & Wild and a product studio in one room arguing about the same shift. Best for product designers, UX researchers and e-commerce leads.
