Going Dutch
Dutch Podge 2011

After our first successful European podge in Stockholm in 2010 the Dutch rose to the challenge of hosting the 2011 lunch in Amsterdam. Dutch agency Auchtung took the lead role in the designs and website build. Particular thanks to Dick, Bert and Jessica and Robin and Noam from Adobe.

With the help of Adobe the first Dutch Podge lunch was a fantastic success. The start point was at the Mayor’s house where 100 leaders in digital were treated to excellent food and drink by the Amsterdam tourist board. About 70 dutch and 30 English agencies were greeted warmly by the mayor.

From there we boarded a boat for a trip around Amsterdam and then onto the restaurant De Goudfazant for a fabulous meal before finishing off the evening in a famous dutch bar Cafe Nol where we finished off the last of the money in true podge style.

A fantastic event and as always at podge lunches captured on camera by photographer Merten http://www.flickr.com/photos/philjones33/sets/72157626831012681/

The Dutch press had lots of positive things to say on the first Dutch Podge
