Info & FAQ

ADNIGHT is an annual festival that brings the creative industry together through a new DAY and NIGHT format: inspiring talks and sessions by DAY, followed by a city-wide NIGHT program in which Amsterdam’s agencies and production companies open their doors to the public.

The DAY program brings together talks, conversations and sessions from leading agencies, brands and creative voices at De Hallen. New Speakers and sessions will be announced soon, so keep an eye on Instagram and LinkedIn for updates.

All agencies curate their own program, from talks and seminars to activities, work showcases and agency tours. Program and agencies will be announced soon! Keep an eye on our Instagram or LinkedIn for updates!

A broad mix of talks, interviews and sessions exploring the future of advertising, brand building and creativity. Expect perspectives from leading marketers, agencies and creative voices on strategy, creativity, innovation, culture, technology and the ideas shaping the industry right now.

All agencies operating in, for or at the fringes of advertising and brand building. You can visit full service and boutique agencies, specialty shops when it comes to VR, innovation, design, social, PR and production companies that create stellar film, music and digital projects.

ADNIGHT is for everyone working with or for creative agencies or is aspiring to work for an agency or production company. If you are working in marketing, it is an easy way to get familiar with niche disciplines, or agencies you are curious about. If you are working in the industry, it is a fun way to see what your competition is doing. And for talent it is a low key way to meet new people and maybe land that dream job!

ADNIGHT will take place on Thursday October 8th, 2026. Our Day program starts at 9am. Agencies will be open from 5pm to 11pm.

This ticket gives you access to both the ADNIGHT day and night program, including the daytime sessions at De Hallen and the evening open agency program across Amsterdam.

This ticket gives access to the ADNIGHT night program only and does not include access to the day programme.

This makes it easier for the ADNIGHT organization to brief agencies on programs relevant for as many visitors as possible.

Putting together your program can be quite a puzzle. Keep in mind that there are several stages throughout the day at De Hallen and several areas where agencies are close together at night, like De Schinkel, Houthavens, De Grachten and Oost. This allows you to visit more agencies in a short time and spend less time traveling. We found that visitors on average spend around 1 hour at every agency they visit, which gives you at least 5 agencies to check out! Keep in mind that parking a car can be time consuming. Most areas are easily accessible by public transport or just grab a bike.

Make sure you rent a bike to get around Amsterdam. This makes it a lot easier to visit multiple agencies in little time. You can get from one edge of the city to the other in about 30 minutes each way. If you come from outside the city by train, you can rent a bike called OV-fiets at the station (they’re only a couple of euro's per 24 hours).

Of course the city also has taxi’s and Ubers.

You can send an email to info@adnight.nl. We strive to respond within 48 hours.

1. Approach a host
   Hosts are present at the door of every festival location. They are your first point of contact if you feel unsafe, experience unwanted behavior, or need support.
    
2. Get support from our safety team
   If more help is needed, the host will connect you with our mobile safety team, who can step in anywhere across the festival.
    

3. In an emergency, call 112
   For urgent or medical emergencies, always call 112 first and then inform a host so we can provide on-the-ground assistance.

    

   We want to stress that safety is something we create together. We expect all visitors to treat each other with respect and care. Everyone has a role in making ADNIGHT a welcoming and inclusive space. We do not tolerate harassment, discrimination, or any unwanted behavior and we will act immediately if it occurs.
