We are delighted to host our largest VIP dinner outside the UK, bringing together some of Europe’s most ambitious founders and CEOs for an evening that reflects both the scale of the opportunity ahead and the power of coming together as a community.

Across the continent, a new generation of technology leaders is building globally relevant companies at pace. From AI innovators redefining industries to scale-ups expanding across borders, Europe is entering a defining period, one where collaboration, shared insight, and collective ambition will shape what comes next. This dinner is about recognising that moment and exploring how we seize it together.

The evening will focus on what it takes to build and scale enduring technology businesses in today’s environment, from navigating international growth and unlocking new markets, to strengthening Europe’s position in an increasingly competitive and fast-moving global landscape. We’ll explore how leaders can learn from each other, connect across ecosystems, and play a role in building a more connected, resilient European tech economy.

Above all, this is an opportunity to connect with peers who are facing similar challenges and opportunities, share perspectives openly, and build relationships that extend far beyond a single evening. Together, we’ll celebrate the momentum building across Europe and the role each of us can play in shaping the next generation of global technology leaders.

Exclusive 1:1 Mentoring:

Ahead of the dinner, guests will have the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring with experienced leaders, gaining practical guidance to navigate international challenges, refine strategies, and accelerate growth.

Time: 6:30pm to 10pm CEST
