Discover the Power of Learning Circles

Introducing Learning Circles at the Amsterdam Business Forum—a powerful new way to maximize your experience and take actionable insights back to your workplace.

What’s the Story Behind Learning Circles?

Inspired by Simon Sinek, the idea took shape during one of his Amsterdam seminars. Sinek challenged attendees to use the break of an event to tap into the collective intelligence of the room, rather than focusing on their phones or work. This sparked the creation of the Learning Circles—a simple yet ultra-effective way to harness the wisdom of the crowd.

What Are Learning Circles?

Learning Circles are designed to help you get the most out of your day:

During breaks at the Amsterdam Business Forum.
Join round tables with like-minded, eager participants.
Translate key insights from the Main Stage into practical applications.
Get guidance from professional facilitators to maximize your outcomes.

(And yes, there’s delightful catering!)

Why Should You Join?

Participants find that Learning Circles help them stay focused, network effortlessly, and apply what they learn immediately. It’s a win-win-win: absorb more insights, turn them into actionable ideas, and expand your network—all in one go.

Triple Your Learning

Attending the Learning Circles offers a triple-ROI on your experience:

You'll leave with a concrete list of actionable steps to implement in your business.
Your ideas will be sharper, enriched by input from like-minded peers.
You’ll expand your network in a productive and enjoyable way.

“I hope there will be a Learning Circle again next year. It was a valuable addition to this fantastic day.” – Jelle van den Broek, Director Innovation Lab @X.

Facilitators Impressed Too

Even the facilitators from Business Models Inc. were amazed at how quickly groups connected and the quality of dialogue that took place within just an hour.

“Participants stay sharper throughout the day because they know they’ll be discussing what they’ve learned with their group. The value lies in building a network, clearing your mind, and applying knowledge on the same day.” – Patrick van der Pijl, CEO, Business Models Inc.
