Go-to-Market Event

Amsterdam · B. Amsterdam

Hosted by AIC4NL

AI and B2B tech founders can sharpen their go-to-market systems and learn how to scale revenue predictably at B. Amsterdam on 28 October 2026. Many commercial teams can report whether they hit a quarterly target, but struggle to explain exactly why they succeeded,or why performance slipped. This focused afternoon in Amsterdam is designed to help founders and sales leaders move beyond that uncertainty and build a more sustainable, repeatable approach to growth. The event is organised by Scaler Company and Gradient in collaboration with the AI Coalition for the Netherlands’ Breaking Barriers programme. It is aimed specifically at founders of AI and B2B technology companies, as well as commercial leaders responsible for scaling revenue. What to expect This is an interactive working event rather than a conventional series of presentations. Attendees will bring their own commercial challenges into the room and work through them live with fellow founders, supported by experts in the field. The afternoon will include: - Practical problem-solving: examine real go-to-market and revenue challenges rather than relying on abstract examples. - A system for growth: explore how to break through a growth ceiling and what it takes to get a team to implement the approach. - Current insight: hear what experts who use and develop AI every day say is working now, including where AI fits into modern commercial practice. - Focused peer exchange: meet a deliberately small group of 25–40 founders and commercial leaders for candid, relevant conversations. The limited group size is a defining part of the format. It creates space for interaction, useful feedback and the kind of detailed peer discussion that is difficult to find through public online networks. Schedule and location The event runs from 1:00pm to 6:00pm on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, with drinks beginning at 4:45pm. It takes place at B. Amsterdam.… Register for this event

Amsterdam · Capgemini Leidsche Rijn

Hosted by Girl Code

Explore how AI is reshaping software development careers at Girl Code’s in-person Capgemini meetup in Utrecht on 15 October 2026. Coding, careers and growth in the AI era As predictions about AI-generated code become increasingly polarised, this evening asks a practical question: what does it now mean to grow as a programmer? Rather than framing AI simply as a replacement for developers, the programme will examine how it may change coding, learning, hiring, mentoring and career progression. Attendees will hear perspectives from two different career stages: an early-career or junior developer and an experienced technology leader. Topics under discussion include: - Whether AI will reduce entry-level opportunities or alter how junior developers get hired - How programmers can progress from junior to senior when AI can produce code - The growing importance of problem-solving, creativity and system design - How mentoring and coaching may need to evolve - Ways developers already use AI to learn, improve and build software - Whether software engineering roles will fundamentally change or remain recognisable The confirmed speaker is Annet Harmsen, Head of Delivery at Capgemini. Girl Code is also running an open call for a junior or early-career developer to deliver a 10–15 minute talk in English. Proposals should include a working title and a short summary and must be sent to ineke.scheffers@hotmail.com by 4 September at 12:00.

Amsterdam · De Balie

Hosted by Volt There

Explore how AI can threaten, and strengthen, democracy at this English-language panel on 14 October 2026 at De Balie in Amsterdam. Hosted by Volt There, the evening moves beyond the question of whether artificial intelligence will affect democratic life to examine how society can actively shape that impact. From democratic risk to public tool Deepfakes of politicians, personalised disinformation and election microtargeting are already making it more difficult for citizens to decide what, and whom, to trust. This panel will confront those risks while also exploring a more constructive possibility: using AI and other emerging technologies to make democratic decision-making more transparent, accessible and inclusive. The conversation is inspired by “Keeping Democracy in the Race: How emerging technologies can strengthen citizen participation in democratic decision making”, a research report from the research platform Charge. Its findings consider how technology could: - Lower barriers to democratic participation - Help structure complex public discussions - Make decision-making processes more transparent - Support responsible experimentation alongside effective safeguards A central question will run through the discussion: should democratic innovators wait for legislation to catch up, or begin testing new approaches now with safeguards built in from the outset? Rather than treating regulation and innovation as opposing forces, the event will examine how they might develop together. Speakers and format The announced lineup features Reinier van Lanschot, Robin Twickler and Alexandre Ferreira Gomes. Expect an in-person evening of panel conversation, critical reflection and practical perspectives, not simply a debate about controlling AI, but an exploration of how it might be reclaimed for democratic participation. The event is relevant to people interested in AI, emerging technology, politics, citizen participation, public policy and the future of democratic institutions. The discussion will be held in English. Practical details… Register for this event

Advanced AI Amsterdam

Amsterdam · Xebia Netherlands BV

Hosted by Xebia Software Development

Advanced AI Amsterdam is a free, in-person evening of technical talks on explainable workflows, agent memory and data-grounded AI agents on 14 October 2026. Hosted by Xebia Software Development at Xebia Netherlands BV in Amsterdam, this meetup brings together people who want to deepen their understanding of generative AI, large language models and agentic systems. Expect practical ideas from industry experts, opportunities to meet fellow innovators and engineers, and time to continue the discussion over complimentary pizza and drinks. Three perspectives on building better AI agents The evening features three focused sessions: - Explainable Agentic Workflows, Arman Kavian: Agents may narrate their reasoning without accurately reporting what drove an outcome. This talk explores preserving reasoning as structure so that an agent’s account can be checked against the process and evidence behind its result. - Can Agents Dream?, Florian Buetow: Most agent memory systems retrieve stored information on demand but do not replay and reorganise past actions. This session introduces “dreaming” as a memory architecture for improving long-running agents, outlining the main approaches and comparing them with retrieval-based memory systems. - Grounding AI Agents in Your Data Model, Ricardo Granados Lopez: See a working pipeline that grounds an AI agent’s claims about a data model in real evidence. The live walkthrough examines when AI-generated interpretations of SQL can be trusted automatically, and where they still require scrutiny. Schedule and format - 17:30: Walk-in, drinks and pizza - 18:00: Explainable Agentic Workflows - 18:40: Can Agents Dream? - 19:20: Grounding AI Agents in Your Data Model - 20:00: Drinks and networking - 21:00: Doors close This is a talk-led meetup with a live technical demonstration and informal networking. It is particularly relevant to AI engineers, software and data practitioners, agent builders, and technically curious attendees exploring prompt engineering, LLMs or generative AI. No formal prerequisite is listed, although the subjects are designed for people ready to engage with the architecture, reliability and evaluation of production-minded AI systems.

Amsterdam · Internet Archive Europe Space

Hosted by Internet Archive Europe

Explore how ethics shapes, and may legitimise, AI and technological development in this live philosophical conversation in Amsterdam on 9 October 2026. Hosted by Internet Archive Europe, this two-hour event brings Morgane Billuart into conversation with philosophers of technology Jordi Viader Guerrero and Darryl Cressman. Together, they will examine why ethics has become such a prominent framework for governing emerging technologies and ask whether it can genuinely influence the direction of innovation. From speculative fiction to AI governance The discussion begins with Billuart’s novel The Heat of Others. Set in an Arctic research facility devoted to harvesting human body heat, the story follows a young philosopher attending a conference about the ethics of mind-enhancement technologies. The novel supplies a provocative starting point, but the conversation will extend beyond the book into the institutions, language and assumptions surrounding contemporary technology. Against the backdrop of rapid developments in AI, ethics boards, responsible innovation programmes, AI ethics guidelines and regulatory frameworks have become embedded in technological development. The speakers will consider questions including: - What does it actually mean to make a technology “ethical”? - Can ethics meaningfully regulate technological development or alter its direction? - What is ethics expected to do when it enters technological systems? - Why has ethics become a means through which technology is both governed and legitimised? - Where are the limits of critique when confronting emerging technologies? Who should attend? This event will be particularly relevant to people working in or studying AI, technology policy, responsible innovation, philosophy, digital culture and governance. It should also appeal to builders, researchers, artists and readers interested in the social and political consequences of technological systems. The format is a focused intellectual conversation rather than a practical workshop, placing critical discussion and philosophical inquiry at its centre. View the event and registration details

Amsterdam · The Netherlands Film Academy

Hosted by AIxDESIGN

Explore how filmmakers can direct generative AI without eliminating chance at this free artist lecture in Amsterdam on 8 October 2026. At the Netherlands Film Academy in Amsterdam, filmmaker Herinarivo Rakotomanana will share a practical and candid account of authorship in the age of generative video. Rather than treating unpredictability as a technical flaw, his practice makes it part of the directorial process: setting boundaries, responding to unexpected results and discovering what happens when the machine returns a different frame from the one imagined. From visual DNA to virtual scouting Rakotomanana will trace this approach through several of his films and commercial projects: - More Tears Than Harm, a painterly animation built from personal memories, demonstrates how he establishes a consistent “visual DNA”, controls staging and retains organic, hand-painted imperfections. The film received Best Technical Achievement at BIFAN 2025. - Mirage Deux Mille introduces his “Run and Go” method of virtual scouting, in which accidental details can expand a scene and help the story find its direction. - Lazy Bird connects his earlier physical filmmaking, moving a real camera around a dancer, with the boundary conditions he now creates for AI-driven movement. - Mora Mora and Inko provide the basis for a practical, multi-tool commercial workflow. Coming from analog street photography and music-video directing, Rakotomanana has explored AI-generated imagery since the early days of GANs. His work moves between photorealistic film, animation, sensorial cinema and intimate personal storytelling. He is currently developing his debut feature film and has delivered talks and masterclasses for animation festivals and high-end fashion brands. See more at herinarivorakotomanana.com or on YouTube. Format and audience The evening combines an artist lecture, audience Q&A and informal drinks. It will be particularly relevant to directors, filmmakers, animators, visual artists, creative technologists and anyone investigating how AI changes creative control. The focus is not simply on tools, but on artistic process, improvisation, aesthetic consistency and responsible approaches to AI filmmaking. Schedule: View the event and registration details
