ABOUT THE EVENT 

Prepare to lose yourself in the heartbeat of Europe's most enchanting waterfront city. Amsterdam is a sensory masterpiece where centuries of history blend effortlessly with a vibrant, modern culinary scene. From the moment you step onto the cobblestone streets, you will be surrounded by the soothing sounds of lapping canal waters, the gentle chime of bicycle bells, and the irresistible aroma of warm, caramelized stroopwafels.

We’ll wander the postcard-perfect streets of the historic Jordaan district, sipping craft brews at neighborhood brown cafés and tasting artisanal Dutch cheeses. We’ll cruise the canals on a private, classic wooden salon boat at golden hour and stand in awe before masterpieces of the Golden Age.

Our home base for this unforgettable week is the stylish Hotel NH City Centre Amsterdam. Perfectly situated overlooking the historic Singel Canal, this hotel places the very best of Amsterdam’s dining, history, and shopping right at your doorstep. Pack your bags for a journey of rich flavors, iconic sights, and incredible company!
