About Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a city where ideas grow: it offers an open minded and creative environment that supports exchange and collaboration.

Its canals, historic buildings, and walkable neighbourhoods create a setting that is both attractive and practical. The city encourages movement and interaction, whether walking beside centuries old waterways, or meeting in cafés known for conversation and innovation.

With mild seasons and soft light, Amsterdam provides an energising backdrop that supports focused and productive dialogue.

The city’s culinary scene ranges from Michelin starred restaurants to relaxed bistros, offering plenty of welcoming spaces for informal meetings. Culture is immersive, with museums, contemporary art, music, and architecture reflecting Amsterdam’s long-standing spirit of openness and progressive thinking.

Recreation adds balance, with canal cruises, walking tours, and green spaces such as Vondelpark offering opportunities to unwind and explore.

Amsterdam is a city that values knowledge, connection and curiosity. We hope your time here leaves you energised, inspired and ready to continue your conversations long after the 37th International Symposium on ALS/MND has ended.
