Events are the greatest way to connect and create opportunities with other like-minded people. That single point in time that digital platforms and websites can’t offer.
What we decided to do was map out the most worthwhile and valuable events that happen around the Netherlands that you should make your time to go visit. This year sees alot less larger events than previous years but opening up many smaller, quality events and meetups around the Netherlands.
Please let us know if you want to add your Startup event to our list to keep everyone informed for a great new 2019.
