PWN Netherlands: AI Tea Salon
This event has ended
Published on September 3, 2026
The AI Tea Salon is a hands-on AI-literacy event for PWN members and curious non-members, co-designed and facilitated with our partner Bureau Veritas. One afternoon that takes participants from "AI-curious" to "AI-capable," leaving with a working AI toolkit, a genuinely new skill, and a peer community. It's the flagship activation of PWN Netherlands' Tech & Data Intelligence pillar — one of our three pillars, alongside Emotional Intelligence and Financial Intelligence — and responds directly to members asking for practical AI programming. Impact is measured through a pre/post AI-confidence delta and a post-event survey.
Bureau Veritas is a global leader in testing, inspection and certification, with a mission centred on serving society and building trust in a safer, more sustainable world — an alignment that makes it a natural partner for PWN.
