The Amsterdam Media & Entertainment Mixer presents: DJ's In The 'Dam.
About this Event
DJ’s in the ’Dam: The IBC Pre-Party
The right people. The right music. The night before IBC kicks off.
The Mixer is back in Amsterdam and we’re taking over the night before IBC.
Timed for the evening before the show floor opens, DJ’s in the ’Dam brings the media, entertainment and broadcast community together at De Heeren van Aemstel, right in the heart of Amsterdam.
This isn’t another stiff drinks reception.
No panel fatigue. No corporate copy-and-paste networking.
Just an open bar, DJs, good people, proper conversations, and the same Mixer energy you know - just levelled up for IBC week.
What to expect
Open bar. DJs. Amsterdam after dark.
We’re bringing the Mixer back with drinks flowing, music from M&E Industry DJ's, and a room full of people you’ll actually want to meet.
The right people before the madness begins.
Meet the movers before IBC takes over from platforms and broadcasters to vendors, creatives, operators and the people shaping what comes next.
Networking without the cringe.
No forced intros. No standing around pretending to check your emails. Just a switched-on, welcoming crowd and conversations that actually go somewhere.
The Mixer, but bigger.
If you’ve been before, you'll know the vibe. If you haven’t, expect a room full of brilliant people, a few surprises, and a night that feels a bit different (in a good way).

Why come?
Because IBC week shouldn’t start with a rushed coffee, a hotel lobby handshake, or a cold walk around the show floor.
It should start with the people who make this industry what it is - in one room, with good music, good drinks, and none of the usual awkwardness.
Come for the music.
Stay for the conversations.
Leave with the connections you actually wanted to make.
DJ’s in the ’Dam is where IBC week starts properly.
Sponsorship is the lifeblood of the Mixer. It’s what allows us to keep creating spaces that feel a little less corporate, a little more human, and a lot more memorable.
So we’re genuinely excited to have Bunny.net backing DJ’s in the ’Dam as part of this year’s IBC Pre-Party.
If you don’t know them yet, Bunny.net are one of the good guys in infrastructure. They’re a European-owned global edge platform helping media and internet businesses move faster, stay secure, and scale without getting tangled up in hyperscaler complexity, confusing pricing or vendor lock-in.
In simple terms? They help businesses deliver digital experiences quickly, securely and reliably - with the kind of transparency, support and builder-first mindset that feels properly refreshing in this space.
For us, they’re a brilliant fit for the Mixer: ambitious, human, no-nonsense, and genuinely invested in the people building what’s next.
We’re very happy to have them in the mix.
Our sponsorships go further than event exposure. Register your interest to find out how we can help your brand show up better at IBC this year.
Tickets for The Amsterdam Media & Entertainment Mixer will be released in phases.
This is a limited-capacity event, and our focus is on creating the best possible room ahead of IBC - a strong mix of broadcasters, platforms, operators, technology vendors, partners, senior decision-makers and people actively shaping the media and entertainment industry.
We’re not looking to run a free-for-all. We’re building a valuable, balanced industry guestlist so that everyone in the room has the opportunity to make meaningful connections before the show floor chaos begins.
If tickets appear sold out, more may be released at a later stage as we continue to shape the room.
