About us
Founded in Amsterdam and run by globally curious people, Amsterdam International Community (AIC) is the most authentic and active international community platform in the Netherlands.
Since 2017, AIC organizes various social events and information sessions and shares useful tips to support expats and locals who enjoy living in this stunning city. We are known for creating great experiences—frequent and diverse events designed to promote a space with good vibes that allowspeople to feel appreciated and to make expat life pleasant for the years to come.
Our events are hosted weekly at various locations in the city, always in a friendly and welcoming environment. Personal attention is key for us. When joining our events, our hosts will personally welcome and introduce guests to eachother.
AIC founders are internationals who came to the Netherlands for work and are proud to now call this place ‘home’.
Motivated by their experiences and an urge to learn about the world, they created this space for internationals to meet, with the vision of building a community platform as a center-point to support international people’s every-day needs.
Our team is the fuel of our engagement. We are open, diverse and united by our common goal to share fun!
