VibeConf is Amsterdam’s conference for people across product, design, engineering, marketing, sales, HR, operations and beyond—building products, tools and workflows with AI.
Not only developers. The room is deliberately mixed, because the people who understand a problem in detail are now often the people building the first version of the answer.
→Product, design and engineering. People shipping real things, comparing where AI genuinely shortens the path and where it quietly adds work.
→Marketing, sales, HR and operations. People building the internal tool, workflow or prototype their team needed, without waiting for a backlog slot.
→Founders and hands-on leaders. People who still build, and who have to decide what their organisation adopts next.
The common reading of this shift is that every role is collapsing into one generalist. In practice the opposite happens. A marketer with AI is still a marketer — with a wider range. A designer does not become an engineer; they get to test the interaction instead of describing it. Depth of expertise is what makes the output any good.
That is what we mean by the product builder era: building is now a behaviour available across functions, rather than a department you file a request with. The longer argument, with the practical method behind it, is in our guide to building products with AI.
Single track, no parallel sessions, roughly a hundred people. The programme and the full speaker line-up — including Debora Gallo and Marijn Markus — are on the main conference page. What happens between sessions is the reason the room is kept small.
Where and when.
Tuesday 6 October 2026, at Pathé Tuschinski, Reguliersbreestraat 26-34, 1017 CN Amsterdam — a 1921 Art Deco cinema a few minutes’ walk from Rembrandtplein, and one of the more unreasonable rooms in the city to watch someone build something in.
VibeConf grew out of Vibe Coding Amsterdam, the community behind it, which runs hands-on evenings, workshops and buildathons across Europe throughout the year. The archive there is the most honest preview of the conference.
