Amsterdam Commercial Night

Amsterdam Commercial Night (ACN) is one of the biggest events of the MAA, celebrated for bringing together Amsterdam’s brightest minds and most innovative companies under one roof. Designed to inspire, connect, and educate, ACN is the go-to event for students and professionals passionate about marketing, communication, consultancy, and management. Attendees get the chance to hear directly from the leaders of cutting-edge companies, gaining insights into how they incorporate emerging trends and innovative strategies into their business practices.

Each year, ACN revolves around a compelling theme that reflects current industry dynamics and future trends. Past themes have included ‘Sustainable Innovation,’ where last year’s lineup featured influential speakers from KPMG, Adyen, and Accenture, captivating an audience of over 100 participants in the iconic Posthoorn Church. Whether you’re a student eager to explore career opportunities, an alumni looking to reconnect, or a professional seeking fresh perspectives, ACN offers an unparalleled platform to learn from industry giants and network with like-minded individuals.

 Beyond the talks, ACN fosters a unique environment for attendees to engage in meaningful discussions, explore potential career paths, and build lasting connections. It’s more than just an event; it’s a gateway to Amsterdam’s commercial heartbeat, where you can immerse yourself in the forefront of business innovation and strategy.
