Service Design July Summer Drinks

The SDN Netherlands Chapter is pleased to announce a new social event for the Dutch service design community: July Summer Drinks!

Feel free to join us from 18:00 on Thursday 10 July at Tolhuistuin in Amsterdam. We'll find a few tables in the garden and enjoy some drinks and networking. There isn't a content program for this event - it's your chance to meet others and make some new connections!

New to service design, or have years of experience under your belt? You're welcome in both cases. Working in an agency or an in-house team? We'd like to see you there no matter what! And students and those teaching service design are welcome too!

There is no charge for this event, and the costs for drinks etc. are for attendees themselves. By registering, you'll give us a rough indication of who may come, and you'll be able to easily save this event in your diary.

Know a service designer who is working in or around Amsterdam, or can travel to join us? Please forward this invite to them.

We look forward to seeing you there!
