Practical information Workshops ADC 2026

In this post we’ll share some practical information regarding the workshop days on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Note that these days requires a specific ticket, if you have a ticket that says ‘Conference Only’ then it does not include the workshop days. Most workshop day attendees also have a ticket for the main conference on Friday, so read the Practical Info For Conference Attendees too.

Travel

The training and tutorial days are in Pathé Amsterdam Noord. (Google Maps Link)

If you come by public transport, the nearest train station is Amsterdam Central Station. You can take Metro 52 from Amsterdam Centraal to Amsterdam Noord, journey time is just 5 minutes. Walking from the station to the cinema is also just a few minutes.

For general public transport advice, 9292.nl is a helpful site in Dutch and English.

If you come by car, there are several public parkings in the area of the cinema; P1 is the nearest (but also the smallest). Since parking in Amsterdam is expensive, we recommend using public transport instead.

Registration

Enter via the (side) Pathé Cinema entrance. We’ll open the doors at 8.30am, at which point we have 30 minutes to get everyone inside and registered. Here’s a heads-up so we can make the process as smooth as possible.

Bring your ticket, on your phone (preferred) or printed. (We may ask for an ID to confirm it’s your ticket). We will scan your ticket and print out your badge for you. If you purchased a student ticket, also bring some proof that you are a student, such as a college card.

Multi day ticket holders: You will receive your badge on your first conference day and this is valid for all days you attend the conference. Upon arrival at the venue for the next day(s), you only need to show your badge for access.

After registration there’s coffee and tea.

WiFi

There will be a safe secured network for all the visitors to use. You will however need a password, which will be the following: DawnConferences2026

Bring your own water bottle

We are taking extra steps towards sustainability. To help reduce waste, we kindly ask all attendees to bring their own reusable water bottle, which you can refill at the venue. For coffee you don’t need to bring anything, we are using recyclable cups. 

Code of Conduct & Prayer Room

We have adopted a code of conduct that helps us make the conference a welcome and safe place for everyone. It is important that all our sponsors, speakers and attendees adhere to this code of conduct. You can find the code of conduct here.

There is also a prayer room (facing south-east) available. It is located on the first floor of the venue (next to room 5). A sign has been attached to the door. Feel free to ask one of the crew members to show you the way.

The Workshop Sessions

We start at 9.00am sharp. People and/or signs will guide you to the correct rooms.

Bringing a laptop to be able to follow along with exercises is a good idea. If you don’t have a laptop, just sit with somebody who does and work together. If applicable, we will send an e-mail to you with materials to download/install before the session.

Although there will be power outlets, make sure you bring a fully charged laptop and be kind to each other in sharing the available power outlets.

Badge scanning

From Tuesday onwards we will hand out badges. Each badge has a QR code, which contains a unique id. Sponsors and speakers can scan this QR code to collect your contact details. The QR itself does not contain personal details. Only registered sponsors and speakers can use the scanned ids to collect contact information. By having your QR scanned by a sponsor or speaker you agree to have your contact details shared with that speaker or sponsor.

Photo and video

We will take pictures and videos at the conference and publish those in our social media channels and on our website. If you do not want to appear in such pictures or video’s, you can collect an orange sticker from the registration desk which you can put on your badge. We’ll try to avoid taking pictures of people with an orange sticker. In photo’s where orange stickers appear, we will blur or cut out any recognizable persons.

Discussion

We have a slack environment where you can discuss with other attendees and speakers, before, during and after the conference.

If you want to discuss the conference on social media, please use hashtags #appdevcon and/or tag our conference (@Appdevcon)

Feedback and help

Throughout the day, if you need any help, find any of the conference staff (we wear recognizable shirts with our company logo) or come to the registration desk.

Rate the session

All speakers will receive a unique QR code for their session, which will be included in the presentations. If you’d like to, you can rate the sessions you attend. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

That’s all!

We hope this post gives you a heads-up of what to expect on our workshop days. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact conferences@dawn.tech.

See you soon,

The Appdevcon Conference Team.
