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.

We are certainly enjoying fulfilling our mission!
