World of NIX is the biggest dedicated alcohol-free retailer and wholesaler in the Netherlands — and proof that doing one thing brilliantly really works.
Come and visit their central Amsterdam store in the Jordaan at Eerste Boomdwarsstraat 63 (corner of Westerstraat) and meet founders Wim and Frederike, the duo who’ve helped shape how alcohol-free drinks are discovered, bought and enjoyed in the Netherlands.
They’ll share what they’ve learned along the way: how they built a credible, well-balanced range, what actually sells, how Dutch tastes differ (and surprise), and what brands need to get right to thrive in this market. Expect practical insight, honest chat and plenty of hard-won experience from people who live and breathe alcohol-free retail

Our pre-Summit dinner takes place somewhere a bit special — REM Island, one of Amsterdam’s most gloriously odd bits of hospitality.
Originally a broadcasting platform floating nine kilometres out in the North Sea, REM Island was briefly home to pirate TV in the 1960s before the authorities quite literally shut it down. Fast-forward a few decades and, since 2011, it’s been firmly planted on poles in the water of Amsterdam’s Nieuwe Houthaven — reimagined not as a rebel TV station, but as a seriously good place to eat, drink and gather.
Up top, the bar and rooftop terrace offer panoramic views across the city and the IJ. It’s an unforgettable spot for a drink as the sun goes down, with beautifully crafted cocktails, great wines and a laid-back atmosphere that invites conversation.
In short: a floating piece of Dutch history turned into one of Amsterdam’s most distinctive venues – and the perfect setting to kick off the Summit together.
Join us for dinner and a welcome drink sponsored by Amsterdam spirit brand Mesamis and then a walking meal so you can meet other founders. Cash bar.
Not travelling back straight away? There will be a post drink reception meal option at Lowlander, so you can continue the conversation.
Kindly supported and hosted by Lowlander Brewing in the botanical bar and restaurant, offering stunning views over the river.
