The Amsterdam Executive Dinner: Shaping the Digital Future
From AI and sovereignty to a more resilient future.

On the eve of ElasticON Amsterdam —Elastic's flagship annual event convening more than 700 IT leaders and innovators from across the public and private sectors — we are hosting an exclusive, invitation-only C-level dinner at the Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam.
This intimate gathering will unite a hand-selected group of senior executives—CIOs, CISOs, and VPs—from leading organisations across Northern Europe, creating a unique forum for perspectives that span industries and borders. Both Ash Kulkarni, CEO of Elastic, and Mandy Andress, CISO of Elastic, will be present, underscoring the significance of this evening.
More than a networking occasion, the dinner is designed as a rare space for candid, strategic dialogue on the forces reshaping our digital future: digital sovereignty, AI-driven innovation, and the resilience of society in the face of accelerating cyber threats.
This year also marks Elastic’s 15-year anniversary. Founded and headquartered in the Netherlands, Elastic remains deeply rooted here—our Amsterdam headquarters was officially inaugurated by Prince Constantijn—making this gathering not only forward-looking, but also a celebration of our shared journey and enduring commitment to innovation.
