Why host an event?
Amsterdam Tech Week (ATW) is a decentralized tech conference built around one belief: startups are their people and those people need better ways to find each other.
Hosting during ATW helps you:
- Reach beyond your usual audience via the shared calendar + cross-event network.
- Keep full creative control (format, guest list, vibe) while we provide the platform.
- Meet the right people (customers, talent, peers, investors).
- Invest in the ecosystem and spotlight Amsterdam’s tech scene.
