Amsterdam Lists 37 Business Events for Startups and Scale-Ups Through September
Networking sessions, tech conferences and career workshops fill the calendar at venues across the city and nearby areas.
How we reported this
The Amsterdam Area business calendar currently lists 37 upcoming events aimed at startups, scale-ups and entrepreneurs, with many scheduled through September 2026.
These gatherings range from language exchanges to large-scale conferences and occur at sites such as Marina I-Dock, the Johan Cruijff ArenA and RAI Amsterdam. Companies operating in the region can use the listings to identify timely opportunities for staff development and new connections without waiting for later announcements.
Networking and career-focused sessions
Several events target expats and professionals seeking career shifts. The Expats Connect session runs until 22 July at The College Hotel and Marina I-Dock, while an in-person career workshop is set for 2 September at UWV WERKbedrijf Amsterdam. Free entry applies to most of these sessions, which also include language meetups at Westerperk Coffee and Pacific through August.
Businesses with international teams may find these useful for retention and recruitment in a city that hosts many non-Dutch speakers. The listings show repeated emphasis on seminars and networking formats that run in the evenings or during standard business hours.
Tech and innovation conferences
Larger events include Haarlemmermeer Innovates on 2 September at the Microsoft Office Outlook building, Common S3nse on 3-4 September at De Hallen, IBC 2026 from 11-14 September at RAI Amsterdam, and TECHSPO Amsterdam 2026 on 17-18 September at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. A World Congress on Surgery and Anesthesia is also listed for 7 August at Holiday Inn Amsterdam - Arena Towers.
These dates give companies a concrete window to plan attendance or sponsorship. The iamsterdam.com business calendar remains the primary public source for full details and registration links.
Organisers note that early checks of the 37 listed entries can help firms align internal calendars with the next wave of in-person and hybrid programming. Checking the site regularly will show any additions before the September cluster begins.
