In 2016 the first Night Mayor Summit will be held in Amsterdam, an international conference on the economic and cultural value of ‘the night’. The conference where nighttime professionals will meet, parallel to the official Mayor Conference in Amsterdam where the mayors of all EU capitals will gather.

The night as a product is more and more important for the profiling and image of cities and areas. Both in the social economic and cultural area day and night are getting more intertwined.

Amsterdam is the front runner in innovating the night and values sharing the knowledge and experiences regarding nightly matters with other cities. Topics such as creative industry, art and culture, diversity, safety, human health and mobility will be discussed.
