University Alumni Event San Francisco Bay Area
Reconnect with alumni from the Netherlands, be inspired by keynote speakers, and learn about Internships in the Valley program. RSVP now!
Looking to reconnect with your fellow university alumni from the Netherlands? Join us on Friday evening, 19 May 2023 at the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in San Francisco for our Holland in the Valley Alumni Event.
To boost your professional network, we're excited to bring together alumni from a variety of Dutch universities for an evening of networking and inspiration. Our keynote speakers, two UvA alumni who currently work at Google, will share how they leveraged their networks to secure their positions and offer insights on how you can do the same.
We're also excited to introduce our Internships in the Valley program, a university network-wide initiative to match Master's/PhD students and recent graduates with paid internships at companies across the US. With 17 interns matched so far, we're actively seeking mentors to guide current and prospective interns — a fantastic opportunity to interact and learn from young talent and give back to the growing Dutch community in the Bay.
Don't miss the chance to connect with alumni from a range of Dutch universities, including VU Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam, Leiden University, Utrecht University, and Erasmus University Rotterdam. Holland in the Valley builds a bridge between the Netherlands and Silicon Valley, and the Bay Area boasts several alumni chapters and over 1,000 alumni of Dutch universities. We can't wait to see you there!
