AmsterdamDatum volgt18:00 — until it stops feeling like work.
Looks like a party.Works like business.
Networkingis awkward.doesn't have to be.
We kennen het allemaal. Je komt binnen. Naamkaartje op. Koffie in je hand. “En… wat doe jij precies?” Tien minuten later sta je alweer je LinkedIn QR-code te scannen.
There has to be a better way.
No networking.Just the right peoplein the same room.
IT'S NET WORKING brengt ondernemers, makers, founders en mensen met ideeën bij elkaar. Geen pitches. Geen verplichte voorstelrondjes. Geen PowerPoints. Gewoon een goede locatie, muziek, drankjes en een ruimte vol mensen die iets aan het bouwen zijn. Wat daaruit ontstaat? Dat laten we aan jullie over.
The room
Your next clientis probablynot in your inbox.
Less LinkedIn.More linking.
How much workis involved?
Show up
Grab a drink. Look around. Talk to someone.
See what happens
Client? Collaboration? Investor? Friend? Nothing? Also fine.
The unofficial rules
No pitching within the first 5 minutes.
Don't ask “what do you do?” Ask “what are you working on?”
If someone is standing alone, say hi.
No LinkedIn QR code within 30 seconds.
Buy someone a drink.
Don't network. Talk.
Break these rules if the conversation is good.

I'm not working that night
Limited room. Because nobody likes networking in a sports hall.
Afterwards
Bro I literally went for one drink and now we're building a company.
Met three people I actually want to call tomorrow.
Didn't hand out a single business card. 10/10.
Can we please never call this networking?
I came alone. Left with a client.
Apparently beer is a CRM now.
Last edition
Questions you'llprobably ask anyway.
Technically yes. We just try very hard not to make it feel like it.
Absolutely. Actually, you probably should.
You should at least be building, creating, running or seriously planning something.
No. You're welcome.
Sure. Just don't corner someone next to the bar for twenty minutes.
There will be drinks. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Good conversations should work with both.
Whatever you'd wear when meeting your next business partner at a bar.
