Robot-Con @ Amsterdam's Biggest Basketball Arena
About the event
🤖🏀 Get ready for Robo Con @ Amsterdam's biggest basketball arena! We're hosting a massive robotics event! 🤖🏀
🦾🦾🦾 We’ll have top robotics companies and student projects showing off their robots in Amsterdam's largest sports hall. We'll be transforming the city's biggest basketball arena (the stands can hold up to 4,000 people) into a robotics expo. So you can walk around the hall and the court, check out the robots, and network. We’ll also hold a panel session on the court with top robotics executives discussing the current state of robotics, AI, and computer vision.
🏅🏅🏅 We’re working on some silly challenges for the robots — we'll have some entertainment before the panel starts! We’ll announce the full robot lineup soon. For now, sign up to reserve your spot! It's free to attend!
❌❌❌ We're also partnering with the City of Amsterdam for this event, through Amsterdam Trade & Invest and StartupAmsterdam. The City of Amsterdam is committed to promoting deep tech and robotics. One example is the city's [recent investment in the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) robotics lab](https://www.amsterdamsdagblad.nl/regio/nieuwe-open-tech-labs-brengen-onderwijs-onderzoek-en-ondernemers-samen-in-amsterdam?utm_source=luma), which brings together students, researchers and startups. Learn more about this fresh initiative at Robo-Con!
🅰️ℹ️ 🌊 Robo-Con Amsterdam is organized by [AI on the Amstel](https://www.aiontheamstel.nl/?utm_source=luma). The AI on the Amstel meetup is Amsterdam's largest monthly AI event. We get 250-400+ people/month depending on the size of the venue that month. We go to a new location each month. Founded in 2024, we have [over 6,500 members and a 4.7/5 rating on Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/ai-on-the-amstel-meetup/).
🤖🤖🤖 We held our first AI on the Amstel meetup on AI and robotics in February 2026, but the venue ultimately wasn't big enough for the topic! We hit the capacity of the space ([pictures of the 400 people who attended](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/granteasterbrook_last-night-was-the-february-edition-of-the-ugcPost-7425091486742138881-_ifO/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAALbIBUBoZVEpNe6Kf7ndRjmZBTZE3IXvOY)), and we could only fit relatively small robot demos. So we're going MUCH bigger for v2 of the robotics meetup!
📣📣 Finally, a shout-out to our meetup sponsor — Qwen! Qwen is the leading AI model family in China, and they now have a team in Europe. Want to learn more?
