Amsterdam CoS Borrel: BYO Boss
We’re excited to bring the Chief of Staff Network (COSN) community back together in Amsterdam for our final CoS borrel of 2026.
A special thank you to Lydia Kronawetter and Trudy Westby for continuing to host and grow the Amsterdam Chief of Staff community.
Date & Time: Wednesday, October 21, 2026 · 6:30 PM
Location: Central Amsterdam, exact location shared upon RSVP
For this edition, we're excited to try a new format: BYO Boss.
We'll bring together a panel of 2–3 Principals who work closely with Chiefs of Staff, interviewed by members of the Amsterdam CoS community. The conversation will explore what makes an effective Chief of Staff, what Principals value most in the relationship, and how they see the role evolving over the next 2–3 years.
We'll also dig into practical advice for current and aspiring Chiefs of Staff, with plenty of opportunity for attendees to shape the conversation through open-floor and pre-submitted questions.
What to expect
A relaxed Amsterdam borrel with fellow Chiefs of Staff and operators
A panel conversation with 2–3 Principals
Perspectives on building an effective CoS–Principal relationship
Open-floor and pre-submitted Q&A
Drinks, light bites, and meaningful connections
