Keynote speakers in Amsterdam, verified
141 international keynote speakers who demonstrably spoke at one of 4 tech events in Amsterdam, Netherlands — most recently on stage first, every talk linked to the public agenda that proves the appearance.
The conference scene in Amsterdam
Amsterdam's conference scene connects European open-source data communities with large-scale international technology forums. PyData Amsterdam, held at the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) under NumFOCUS, gathers data practitioners, research scientists, and machine learning engineers discussing open-source numerical computing and production systems.
On the commercial and enterprise side, TNW (The Next Web) Conference has brought international tech executives and keynote speakers to the Amsterdam metropolitan area since 2006, while OrangeCon provides an open stage for cloud architecture and infrastructure engineering.

What this list does not tell you
- Where anyone is based. Amsterdam is the city of the event, never of the person. We hold no address, and nobody here is being described as local.
- How to reach them. No contact details are held. The agenda link is the route.
- Everyone who qualifies. This is a seed, not a census: absence is not evidence that someone has not spoken in Amsterdam.
- Anything about talks still to come. Only past, published sessions are recorded — there is no upcoming schedule here.
Questions about booking a speaker in Amsterdam
- How many AI speakers have spoken in Amsterdam?
- 141, across 4 conferences we hold agendas for. That is the number with a checkable record, not an estimate, and it grows when we index another Amsterdam conference, not when more people sign up.
- Which conferences do they come from?
- PyData Amsterdam 2026, OrangeCon 2026, PyData Amsterdam 2025, TNW Conference 2025. Each one links to its own page, and from there to the conference's published agenda.
- How do you know they actually spoke?
- Because the conference published it. 142 of the 147 talk records on this page carry the session title exactly as the agenda printed it; the other 5 come from events that list speakers without per-session titles, and those are shown as our own label rather than dressed up as a published one. Nobody self-reported and nobody paid to be here.
- Are these speakers based in Amsterdam?
- Not necessarily, and we do not claim it. The city belongs to the event, not the person. This page answers who has taken a stage in Amsterdam, which is the question that matters when you are booking one there.
- What do they speak about?
- Most represented on this page: LLM, Machine learning, Data engineering, Generative AI, AI industry applications, MLOps. Topics come from the talks themselves, not from a profile someone filled in.
- Are these international keynote speakers?
- Yes. The speakers listed here took keynote and practitioner stages at major international technology and AI conferences in Amsterdam (PyData Amsterdam 2026, OrangeCon 2026, PyData Amsterdam 2025, TNW Conference 2025). Each listing proves their stage appearance with a direct link to the published conference agenda.
- Can I get their contact details or fee?
- No. We hold neither. Every entry links to the agenda page it came from, and that link is the route. It is also the honest limit of what a directory built from public agendas can tell you.
Hiring a speaker in Amsterdam?
All 141 took a stage in Amsterdam, and every line carries the agenda link that proves it. Leave your email and we'll open your seat with the next ten — free, no card. Signing up here tells us Amsterdam is where people are hiring, and that is how we pick the next city to index.
