We’ve been getting a lot of requests to explore two big questions. First, what coding skills will matter in an AI-driven world? This topic has only become more pressing as some have made bold claims that traditional coding is "dead," there's hype around auto researchers, etc. etc. And second, what will the product stack of the future look like in an AI-driven world? So we'll be covering both topics in the May AI on the Amstel meetup!

Here is the panel for the May meetup:

  • Adrian McPhee, CTO of the startup Eccasion. Adrian is also the former CTO of Bol.com and the former CTO of Amsterdam fintech champion Backbase.
  • Clare Jones, CEO of Polarsteps. Amsterdam-based Polarsteps is a popular travel app with over 20 million users.
  • Michael Aronzon, CTO of Miro. Miro's visual workspace has over 100 million users across 250,000 organizations.

The panel brings a range of different perspectives - from an early-stage startup to being the CTO of some of the biggest technology companies in the Randstad to building a fast-growing scale up like Polarsteps! It will be a great discussion.

May meetup will be held at the large atrium in Miro's Amsterdam office. Doors open at 17:00. The event starts with a networking period, and we usually start the panel sometime between 17:45-18:00. There will be time for Q&A with the audience. After the panel concludes, there will be another networking session. It's fine if you arrive a little late - we know work can be busy!

For those that are new to this meetup, the AI on the Amstel meetup is a monthly technical meetup that features knowledgeable speakers discussing "in the weeds" AI topics and challenges. This meetup caters to engineers, product managers, and founders in AI.

The AI on the Amstel meetup is the largest monthly AI event in Amsterdam. We get 250-400+ people a month depending on the size of the venue that month. For example, here are the pictures of the crowds at our three most recent meetups: a meetup at Amsterdam's flagship public library, a meetup at the AMS Institute graduate school, and a meetup at Booking's headquarters. I hope to see you at the May event!
