• Amsterdam service Jam 2019

    The Amsterdam Service Jam takes place during the Global Service Jam 2019: March 29th, 30th & 31st at MOBGEN | Accenture Interactive. Be part of the movement, work together with great minds and create something new. During a jam you team up for one weekend with people from different fields and backgrounds and create something, anything! The Amsterdam Service Jam is a satellite event of the Global Jam events: About 100 Jams in different cities around the world will take place in the same weekend, all working in the same way, collaborating, learning, creating and getting to know each other.

    How we Jam?

    Have you ever seen a music Jam-Session? A group of musicians that just start playing together without having a plan, having fun, creating a new rhythm? That's what we do. With about 50 others, in only 48 hours, guided by a program and with the help of Design Thinking experts we'll develop completely fresh service concepts.

    What is Service Design?

    Service Design is a design discipline in which you use design methodologies in order to design new services. We don’t want to teach you what Service Design is, we want you to experience it. Innovate by finding new meaning and try out new methods -- Let's start creating!

  • FAQ's

    Are we going to work on projects that we bring to market on monday?

    If you think you can, we encourage that off course! However, it is most important that you take the opportunity to try out and learn from each other. We encourage to bring your ideas further and will also ask you to plan that.

    I would really like to join but I have band rehearsal on Saturday afternoon ...

    Being part of a team means we would like you to be present throughout the weekend, but if you don't want to miss the experience and your team is ok with it, we will not let you down. Just let us know, we might be able to work something out! If you are unavailable for all of Saturday, it might be better to come and watch the final pitches on Sunday afternoon so you don't disappoint your team members.

    What do I get for 32,65 – 48,38 Euro's?

    You pay to cover the expenses of the weekend and are able to meet new interesting people and create new refreshing ideas. We provide food and drinks during the days and also prototyping materials. A small price for the security needs to be covered.

    I have a challenge related to my job (at a big corporate company) that I would love to work on, can I come in and work on that?

    We'd rather that you didn't, we want you all to learn to get inspired from each other and work on ideas based on insights from fieldwork. However, this might be the opportunity to meet creative and interesting partners in solving your big work problem!
