About us
Founded in Amsterdam and run by globally curious people, the foundation Amsterdam International Community (AIC) is the most authentic and active international community platform in the Netherlands.
Since 2017, AIC has organized 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 allows people 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!

Sony
Host
Meet Sony, the tech wizard who treats their gadgets better than their own relationships! With a smartphone in one hand and a steering wheel in the other, they navigate both the digital and literal highways of life.
This adrenaline junkie doesn't just download apps; he downloads excitement. When not hacking machines (even his coffee maker plays EDM beats), he is decoding the mystery of foreign people and tongues, convinced that speaking Klingon might come in handy someday. He is on a quest to meet people from every corner of the globe because swapping travel stories is the only competition they take seriously. In this tech-driven comedy of errors, he always thinks the punchline is only just a click away!
Joanna
Karaoke queen
Joanna is part of AIC since the very beginning. Soul of our community, you will find her welcoming you at all AIC karaoke events.
Jacopo
Host
Jacopo is a friendly guy from a quaint village near the captivating city of Rome. He's got a knack for strumming melodies on his guitar, finding solace in the strings and rhythms. When he's not lost in musical reverie, you can often catch him with his nose buried in a book, exploring worlds and ideas within the pages. But Jacopo isn't just a solitary soul; he thrives in the company of his pals, cherishing those moments of laughter and camaraderie as they wander the winding streets of their village or sip espresso in cozy cafes. With his easygoing nature and diverse interests, Jacopo adds a touch of warmth and charm to his corner of the world.
