New intimate tech event series

Where tech people talk real.

TechTalks is an intimate live event series and community programme for tech enthusiasts in the Netherlands. It brings everyone from founders to operators together around real stories from the field. No superficial “guru talks”, but honest conversations about building, growing, making mistakes, technical choices, product development and the people behind successful tech companies.

4 tech themes Live format Real founder stories Community programme

Real stories from the tech floor.

A visual reminder that TechTalks is not about polished guru talks, but about the real work behind building, growing and scaling tech companies.
