New at ABF2025: Deep Dive Sessions

Amsterdam Business Forum introduces a brand-new add-on this year: 8 Deep Dives.These are 30-minute power sessions on highly specific topics every leader and entrepreneur faces.

Make the most of your 90-minute break

The ABF 2025 program includes two 90-minute breaks between the Main Stage sessions. From experience, we know attendees prefer longer, more comfortable breaks over short ones that barely allow time for a quick coffee and a bathroom stop.

Attendees use these breaks in different ways:

Networking
Meet fellow leaders and share experiences. At Amsterdam Business Forum, we offer a dedicated group restaurant for internal networking and teambuilding, plus “Learning Circles” for facilitated dialogues

Relaxing and recharging
‍Amsterdam Business Forum is packed with energy and insights, so many participants take time to pause and reflect. For this, we even provide an Introvert Lounge - simply sit back and relax, no social expectations attached.‍

Getting work done
‍Leadership is a 24/7 responsibility. Sometimes, even on event day, you need to make that urgent call or send that crucial message. At Amsterdam Business Forum, a Grand Café is transformed into a comfortable workspace with coffee and WiFi - everything you need

Deep Dives on 8 Topics

ABF 2025 features two rounds of 8 parallel Deep Dives:

First break: 12:00 – 12:30
Second break: 15:00 – 15:30
‍
