Amsterdam Alumni Event
It was not very long time ago that All Roads led us to Rome and a very successful inaugural TDA Alumni event. We have to confess that once in a while when we have an idea and the idea works, we have a beer or two, and then decide, why not do it again. So we had a couple of more beers and wondered when and where we should do the next alumni event. We kept on drinking hoping that we could get a consensus. When we could not arrive at a consensus we asked for input from you guys, our alumni. And thanks to the many of you that voted on Facebook the winner is…
– Amsterdam.
We have all heard about the city and its charm. So we did not argue and decided let’s do it and do it now. Why now? Why in 2013?
- Because this year celebrates 400 Years of the city’s UNESCO listed canal construction.
- Because the Rijksmuseum reopens after a decade of renovations to show its Rembrandts and Vermeers
- Because it is the 160th birthday of Van Gogh and his namesake museum is turning 40
- Because the Royal Concert Gebouw Orchestra turns 125
- Because the Atis Ryoal Zoo turns 175 years
- Because the Felix Meritis Cultural centre, which has special concerts exhibits and lectures all year long, is turning 225 years old.
- Because the Dutch Queen Beatrix has retired and passed the crown to Prince Willem-Alexander.
- Because orange is our favourite colour.
- Because Amsterdam has some great places to have a beer and all of a sudden we are feeling really thirsty.
- And because the timing is right.
So we hope to see all of you in Amsterdam on June 25-30th where once again we have prepared for you a week of easy cycling, excellent dining, some heavy partying and hopefully seeing a lot of good friends and making some new ones. We have organized a centrally located hotel for everyone to stay in. From there it is a short walk to where the daily cycle tours will begin. Bicycles will be provided for you.
Space is limited. Register now!

We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam!
