🎉 10 Years of AIC: the big draw (58 winners!)
·OnlineOnlineIn 2027 AIC turns ten. Ten years of bringing internationals and locals together in Amsterdam, and tens of thousands of you who have come through since.
Here is what's changing. From now on, the fastest way to get anything out of this community is WhatsApp.Say hi to ツAIC, the new AIC community assistant, and ask it anything: when the next event is, how to find a professional you need in Amsterdam, or to be introduced to members who share your interests. It answers in seconds, at any hour, in your language.
Everything else stays where it is. All AIC events are still right here on Meetup, and the monthly newsletter still lands in your inbox.
👉 Say hi to ツAIC on WhatsApp — the message is already written for you, just hit send.🎁 And because AIC is turning ten
Everyone who says hi before Monday 12 October at noon goes into the draw. 58 members are winning:- 28× spots on the AIC Boat Party 🚤 Two hours cruising the canals with the community, one drink included. Yes, 28 winners, it's a big boat.
- 10× seats at an AIC Social Dinner 🍝 One table of ten at a partner restaurant. Strangers when you sit down, friends when you leave.
- 20× two free drinks at an AIC event 🍻 At the AIC event of your choice. Show up, grab your drinks, meet someone new.
58 winners in total. Pretty decent odds.
📲 How it works
Hitting RSVP here on Meetup works as a reminder, but to actually enter the draw you need to say hi to ツAIC. That's the whole thing. No form, no purchase, nothing to buy.
ツAIC will also ask one quick question about Amsterdam, like your favourite spot in the city. Answering is optional and takes ten seconds, and the answer goes into what the whole community knows about this city.⏰ Dates
- ⏳ Entries close: Monday 12 October at 12:00 CET
- 🎲 The draw: Monday 12 October, random, recorded, with a witness
- 📩 Winners: contacted privately on WhatsApp within two days, publicly announced by Wednesday 14 October
