Hadoop Summit Party @ Heineken Experience!

Wednesday, March 20
Reception Time: 1930 hours to 2200 hours
The Heineken Experience is a must-see attraction of Amsterdam. The Heineken Experience is all about Heineken, from the history of the Heineken family, to the full process of beer making and of course trying out some samples!! It takes about one and a half hours to get around the whole Experience and includes lots of interactive activites including being brewed like a beer.

The site of the former brewery where Heineken’s premium quality was brewed for a hundred years, the building has been transformed into a sensational interactive tour through the dynamic world of Heineken. For one night only, Hadoop Summit will take over the attraction. Come enjoy the experience, and a sensational glass of beer, with your fellow Hadoopers.
