About The AABC |
Connecting internationally minded professionals in Amsterdam for more than 40 years.The Amsterdam American Business Club (AABC) brings together internationally minded professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, and business leaders with a shared interest in strengthening connections between the Dutch and American business communities. Founded in 1983, the AABC has long served as a welcoming hub for professional networking, idea sharing, and relationship building in the Amsterdam region. What began as informal gatherings among internationally focused professionals evolved into a longstanding international business community representing a wide range of industries, nationalities, and professional backgrounds. The AABC is more than a networking organization. It is a community built around meaningful conversations, lasting relationships, and the belief that business connections are strongest when people genuinely enjoy coming together. Throughout the year, the club hosts events at unique locations in and around Amsterdam, creating opportunities for members and guests to connect professionally while experiencing the international and entrepreneurial spirit that makes the region so dynamic. Whether you are newly arriving in the Netherlands, expanding your international network, growing a business, or looking to engage with an active professional community, the AABC offers a place to connect, contribute, and grow. The AABC is led by a volunteer board of directors and committee members whose diverse backgrounds and experience help shape the organization and enhance the experience for members, sponsors, and guests.
