Next IT Security — Benelux

Agenda

Day 01
May 2025

Selected as the official venue for Next IT Security Amsterdam, The Amstel Hotel offers a setting that supports privacy, discretion and high-level interaction.


The true Grande Dame of Amsterdam. The majestic building, in the French renaissance style of the 16th and 17th century, was the vision of Samuel Sarphati, a 19th century physician whose influence in the city goes well beyond medicine. In 1847, Sarphati became involved in politics as a project developer in city planning and The Amstel Hotel was his passion project to usher Amsterdam into a new era of architectural sophistication. He commissioned architect Cornelis Outshoorn to design the building along the banks of the Amstel River. Sadly, Sarphati never saw his vision come to fruition as he died the year before the hotel was opened. Since its opening in 1867, the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam has been known for its majestic appearance and homely atmosphere, with an imposing lobby, historic staircase, enchanting chandeliers and high ceilings.

Frankfurt earned the nickname “Mainhattan” for a skyline that rivals Manhattan’s. Dinner sits in the financial district with towers lit on every side, seating C-suite cyber minds alongside the day’s keynote speakers — no stage between you, just the conversation continuing.
