The Amsterdam AI Summit 2026
About this event
Evening summit at the Zuiderkerk with a panel featuring the CTOs and AI leads of Picnic, Arcadis and Sopra Steria, followed by two hours of app-matched networking for around 500 attendees.
Startup Network Europe returns to Amsterdam with an evening summit at the Zuiderkerk, targeting roughly 500 business, innovation, product and technology leaders. That is close to double the 300 who attended the January 2026 edition.
The running order:
- 18:00 to 18:25 registration and networking
- 18:25 intro from Adam Fulham, founder of Startup Network Europe
- 18:30 to 19:15 panel discussion
- 19:15 to 21:00 extended networking with a bar
Confirmed panellists are Daniel Gebler, CTO of Picnic, Dr Simon Oster, Global Director of Data Science and AI at Arcadis, and Joy van Baren, Director of Portfolio and AI Transformation at Sopra Steria. ERIKS is also named on the event page.
More than half the evening is given to networking, facilitated through a matchmaking app that lets attendees arrange meetings in advance. Despite the name, this is a three-hour evening event rather than a multi-day conference.
Tickets are tiered across Super Early Bird, Early Bird and General Admission, all including networking app access. No figures were published at the time of listing. Refunds are available up to 14 days before. The summit falls on CET.
