The Amsterdam Service Jam is a satellite event of the Global Service Jam, a worldwide service design hackathon, where more than 100 cities participate to create new services on the same weekend.

In teams with people from different fields, backgrounds and experience levels you will create a service idea and awesome prototype. We will kick-off on Friday by presenting the secret theme and preparing you for a weekend packed with collaboration, fun, talks, workshops, great teamwork and inspiration from your fellow jammers.

Come and join this weekend of creation, cooperation and shenanigans.

Service Design? Design Thinking?
Service Design is a design discipline in which you use design methodologies to design new services. We do not want to teach you what Service Design is, we want you to experience it. We are designing new services in 48 hours with 30-50 participants. You will innovate by finding new skills and trying out new methods!

How do we Jam?
Have you ever seen a music Jam-Session? A group of musicians that starts playing together with a plan, having fun, creating a new rhythm? We start with an idea, find a problem and define an opportunity, which together with your team, you will prototype a service.
