We will greet you at the back “stage” where you can get some drinks and enjoy the view over Amsterdam (we will be indoors*). You will then get to experience performances by some of Amsterdam’s finest up & coming musicians.

After the show stick around for some drinks and hang with the artists.

*While the concert takes place indoors we will have our own private outdoor terrace that we can use before the show, in between sets and after.

We love music and so do you! Everyone should be able to enjoy Jazz the way it is intended, and that is why we ask you not to talk or use your phone during the performance.

Spark Skill Share Event: Unconference

WHEN | June 25, 2020
TIME | 18:00 - 22:00
WHERE | Zoku's Event Space

Have you ever sat in a conference, listening to a speaker and thought “I have something to say about that….”

Now’s your chance. In 2020 Spark Women are bringing a brand new type of event to Amsterdam.

Alongside our beloved, annual Spark Conference we want to help the women in our network share their skills and knowledge with others.

At Spark Skill Share there is no audience, everybody gets to contribute their knowledge and experience while asking all their important questions.

If you don’t like large conferences because they feel overwhelming and you’re never sure how to make valuable connections with other attendees, then Spark Skill Share is designed exactly for you. Knowledge sharing is hosted in small group settings where you can make better connections with the people around you before moving on to meet your new connections at the next topic.

An unconference for women business owners where:

YOU are the expert
YOU set the agenda
YOU make the connections you need to move your business forward in 2020

Come with topics you’re struggling with, skills you’d like to build upon, issues you’re dealing with in your business and we’ll work through them together. Everyone can grab a drink at the Zoku bar afterwards. Your registration includes 1 drink voucher that you can hand in at the Zoku bar.

Event moderator: Emmy McCarthy
Session moderators: Spark Team members
