Welcome to CADS
The Commercial Anglo Dutch Society is one of the leading business relationship and networking clubs in the Netherlands. We are a community of individuals united by our love of business, the gourmet delights of a hearty lunch or dinner, and the company of like-minded individuals in the English speaking business world. We meet monthly, usually for lunch but sometimes for dinner, at the Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club in Dam Square, Amsterdam, where we host guest speakers on a variety of interesting, relevant business topics and enjoy a delicious meal.
Our mission is to build relationships and friendships with business professionals here in The Netherlands from the UK, Commonwealth, and other English speaking nations, and our Dutch hosts!
We are certainly enjoying fulfilling our mission!
