Tech Events at StartDock Coworking, Amsterdam

The October edition of AI Builders' technical meetup for AI engineers and founders, at StartDock on Prins Hendrikkade: three short talks, then drinks. Walk-in 17:30, pizza 18:00. Arian Pasquali of Orq.ai on benchmarking LLMs head-to-head on your own prompts in Orq Arena; Giorgio Orsucci on AI design work; Marko Ladika of Producting.ai on how his multi-agent orchestration failed. Networking from 19:15, finishing at 21:00. Free, with tickets issued through Luma. The organisers say basic LLM knowledge is assumed. Why go: a failure post-mortem on the programme is a good sign — this is a room where people compare what actually broke rather than demo the happy path. Best for engineers and founders building with agents and RAG.

The Amsterdam JavaScript developer meetup on how engineering teams are restructuring around AI tooling. Practitioner talks at StartDock.

A builder-first AI meetup at StartDock on the Keizersgracht — demos and short technical talks from people shipping AI features, with graph and retrieval infrastructure a recurring theme. Practical rather than strategic, and small enough that you can actually talk to the presenters.

AI Builders Amsterdam is a technical monthly meetup for AI engineers, founders and builders sharing the latest AI devtools, APIs, RAG and agent frameworks, techniques and models. The August edition brings hands-on talks, live demos and networking over pizza and drinks at StartDock Coworking near Amsterdam Centraal. Run by AI Builders — a self-organising community of thousands of practitioners — the format favours real working code and practical technique over vendor pitches. Basic familiarity with LLMs is recommended. A relaxed, builder-first room for people actually shipping AI products.
