Appsterdam is a volunteer-run, non-profit community, which organizes events for App Makers, by App Makers. They provide infrastructure to support the app ecosystem with weekly lectures, weekly bar meetups, peer support, tech events, and more. The goal is to bring people together, no matter what background or skill level you possess. Cross-pollination is the key to innovation. At any of our events, you can meet a developer, a designer, an accountant, a marketer​, or even a lawyer. Who knows? Maybe the person you meet is the one who will raise your project to a higher level, or change your life for the better.
