As we prepare to gather for the upcoming annual EARIE conference on the 30th of August, 31st of August, and the 1st of September, we want to take a moment to introduce you to our host city, the vibrant and culturally rich Amsterdam.

Amsterdam, with its picturesque canals, historic architecture, and a spirit of innovation deeply rooted in its history, offers conference attendees a unique blend of old-world charm and cutting-edge modernity. The city’s rich tapestry of art, culture, and diversity will undoubtedly enhance your time at the conference, providing a one-of-a-kind environment for networking, learning, and exploration.
