Signal An Amsterdam community built on device-free meetings

Summary

This signal is The Offline Club, an Amsterdam-based community that organises events for meeting in person without smart devices. Sitra cites the club itself, dated April 2024. The absence of phones is the defining rule of its gatherings. Sociability is deliberately organised around leaving devices out. It shows demand for shared offline experiences growing into an organised social offer. Sitra lists it among signals behind an imagined 2046 magazine column in which digital peace becomes a key selling point of tourism.
