What we’re about
If you want to make movies, go to Hollywood.
If you want to make musicals, go to Broadway.
If you want to make apps, go to Appsterdam.
— Mike Lee, Mayor of Appsterdam
You have come to the best place in the world to be or become an App Maker!
Appsterdam is a volunteer-run, non-profit community, which organizes events for App Makers, by App Makers. We provide infrastructure to support the app ecosystem with weekly lectures, weekly bar meetups, peer support, tech events, and more. Our goal is to bring people together, no matter what background or skill level you possess. Cross-pollination is the key to innovation. At any of our events you can meet a developer, a designer, an accountant, a marketeer, or even a lawyer. Who knows? Maybe the person you meet is the one who will raise your project to a higher level, or change your life for the better.
Appsterdam is the world capital of apps, established in Amsterdam, as a center of gravity for our industry, to provide a place where all App Makers can gather, and to create a framework for people to give back and support the community.
Come along with us!

Ahoy, fellow Appsterdammers!
If you feel like it's time to start slowly getting used to being social again, maybe you'd like to warm up with your fellow makers, nerds, and other technology enthusiasts, who might better understand your specific interests and social style.
Join us in the cozy cafe where Appsterdam was born, at an earlier than usual time, to enjoy their legendary terrace and its ongoing attempts to comply with an ever-shifting landscape of rules — something many App Makers will understand!
Yes, even after ten long years and a pandemic, this is still the place for you to meet your fellow Appsterdammers, get to know members of the community, meet a potential business partner, bring your app to share with others, exchange ideas with like-minded people... No talks are ever scheduled and everyone is always welcome to join.
Be sure to ask the waitress/waiter about their seasonal beers and grab a snack to share with your friends. All Appsterdammers get 10% off the entire bill, so order whatever you want to eat/drink. Then sit back and enjoy the company of your peers.
The day is always Wednesday. The place is always Café Bax. The time, for now, is 19:00.Please note: It's a very casual event so people often don't RSVP or show up exactly on time. But don't fear, you can always find Appsterdammers at this event! Not sure you're in the right place? Just ask the staff!
