Frequently asked questions

What kind of talks are listed?

Lectures, panel discussions, book launches and conversations, in English and in Dutch. The listing links the venue’s own page, which says which language each talk is in.

Where does this list come from?

Every listing comes from the venue’s or organiser’s own programme, re-checked daily. Only in-person events are listed, never online or livestreamed ones.

Are there free talks in Amsterdam?

Sometimes. The price shows on every listing, so free entry is easy to spot, and the free events page collects everything whose own listing says it is free.

How far ahead does this page look?

It covers today and the next seven days. Past dates drop off automatically and new ones appear as venues publish them, so the page changes through the week.
