Amsterdam, Netherlands: canals and the historic centre

Amsterdam, Netherlands · 25-26 July

The two-day program takes place in Amsterdam on 25-26 July 2026: four faculty, one developmental arc, in the heart of one of Europe's most creative cities.

In Amsterdam, alongside the program itself, we also arrange a walk through a side of the city most visitors never see. And for the especially adventurous, and those keen on urban development, on 24 July we take a trip to nearby Eindhoven, where we meet the legendary Cees Donkers, one of the architects and leaders of Eindhoven's transformation, study a remarkable case of urban development, and visit places that have become symbols of systemic city change driven by residents, business, and government together.

About the program

This page covers everything specific to Amsterdam. The full two-day Leadership Edge program, the faculty, the Maturity Profile, the certificate, and what you gain are described on the program overview - they are the same in every location.
