A’DAM&Co. Book (Preview Only)

ask not what your club can do for you, ask what you can do for your club.

introduction

A’DAM&Co. is the name of the members’ club situated on the 18th Floor of A’DAM Toren. The club boasts a sumptuous & serene setting, & a spectacular rooftop terrace with an unrivalled 360˚ view of Amsterdam. However, it is the club members that define & shape A’DAM&Co. A’DAM&Co. is a community of inquisitive & ingenious minds from Amsterdam, & beyond. A club for curious people in the creative fields. Those with big ideas (& even bigger egos) who value a stimulating & relaxing environment. Left-brains & right-brains with a passion for collaboration. Whether that’s mixing business & pleasure, dubstep & classical, or sneakers & suits. Anything, except whisky & ice.

Unlike other club concepts, all members of A’DAM&Co. are encouraged to contribute to the programming & become a key ingredient in a cocktail of inspiration, learning & fun. & so much more.

A’DAM&Co. is housed in a round room. There is nothing accidental about the design. A space without corners promotes cosy camaraderie & shared creativity.

Nevertheless, all members (especially those with a measure of notoriety) can also just relax & hide from the hurly burly with their favourite drink, or two.

A’DAM&Co. is the beginning of fascinating conversations & beautiful friendships. A’DAM&Co. is the start of a joyous journey, where one departs from same & discovers something new. It could be a new mate, a new idea or a new move (business or dance)… whatever it is, A’DAM&Co. looks forward to your company & extending its name to A’DAM&You.

rules & conditions

The object of A’DAM&Co. is the provision of facilities & headspace for the purpose of facilitating the social intercourse of persons connected with or interested in the Arts, Entertainment, Media, Music, & similar areas. Did you get that? In terms of facilities, there will be no inkjet printer or one of those machines that punch holes in paper.

So please bring your own.

Every candidate for membership must be at least 19½ years of age & have an interest in Amsterdam & Music. Importantly, all candidates are never rude to waiters (or those people perceived to be in subordinate roles). Members of A’DAM&Co. are simply nice people, people we like.

All members of A’DAM&Co. & guests are required to maintain an acceptable standard of dress & behaviour, conducive & appropriate with the objects & quality of the club.

For the avoidance of doubt, the following (nonexhaustive) list of Rules & Regulations must be adhered to: • No violent, abusive or grumpy conduct.

• Never wear brown shoes or logos bigger than 10cm.

• Jeans should be worn at the hip. Not lower or higher.

• Hair length should be proportional to the amount left, & comb-overs are simply a no-no.

• Any action likely to bring the club into disrepute (such as not eating vegetables or reciting the Star Wars films verbatim) will not be tolerated.

• Serious insubordination under the influence of alcohol is expected at least once a month.
