Amsterdam: EMEA events hub
Last updated: 10 October 2026. Next review: 10 November 2026. Sources are linked in the text and listed at the end of the page.
Amsterdam's calendar centres on private capital, with SuperReturn Europe and SuperReturn CFO/COO alongside the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum forming a dense institutional investment cluster. Alongside it, a smaller but distinct AI and broadcast technology group, World Summit AI, the AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe and MCP Dev Summit Europe pairing, and IBC (one of the larger broadcast and media technology trade fairs in Europe), runs largely independently of the finance calendar.
Why Amsterdam holds this mix
SuperReturn's choice of Amsterdam as its flagship European venue anchors a significant share of the city's institutional investment activity; the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum and SuperReturn CFO/COO benefit from proximity to that same LP and GP audience. The AI and broadcast events are a separate draw: Amsterdam's transport links and conference infrastructure make it a practical host for large trade-fair-format events like IBC that do not depend on a resident finance or tech community the way Berlin's developer conferences do.
Reading the Amsterdam calendar
The private capital events cluster in October and November 2026 (SuperReturn CFO/COO, SuperReturn Europe), while the AI and broadcast events ran earlier, from September through early October: IBC, AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe and World Summit AI have all taken place. IBC2026 reported 41,225 attendees from 170 countries and announced a return to RAI Amsterdam on 10-13 September 2027 (TV Technology, organiser figures).
As of 10 October 2026, 7 of the 10 events on this hub have already run and 3 are still ahead. The next three are Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum (14-15 October 2026), Data Centre Expo at TechEx Europe (19-20 October 2026) and SuperReturn Europe (3-6 November 2026). Dates are as recorded in each event's fiche on the date above, which carries its own last-verified date.
Methodology
Events listed here are a selection of the fiches with city: Amsterdam on Events Index, each with a confirmed date; the full list is in the registry. This hub does not add editorial judgement about which Amsterdam events matter most; see the relevant sector hub (private capital, developer AI) for that analysis.
Dates and organiser pages are taken from each event's fiche as of 10 October 2026. IBC attendance is the organiser's reported figure.
