What's a Go Global Conference?

Through participating in world leading tech conferences, we unite the Belgian Tech ecosystem and create opportunities in access to capital, visibility & press exposure. We offer coaching & mentoring to help you prepare and we bring the Belgian scene together thanks to a series of social activities.

In May 2016, the city of Amsterdam plays host to the 11th annual TNW Conference, a gathering of immense scale that brings together 20,000 of the world’s top technology leaders, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs. Business development, thought-leading content and endless networking opportunities are tied together by more than 10 stages, 500 exhibitor pavilions and 145 fringe events about the future of technology, innovation, marketing, communication and imagination.

 

Why TNW Conference?

Do business with 4,000+ small and large tech companies. Supercharge your knowledge with thought-provoking talks and discussions from 130 international speakers. Share the room with 2500 startups, 500 journalists and 200 VC funds. Attend roundtables and master classes, and access innovative product demos, creative workshops and side events.

Boost is The Next Web's early stage startup program at TNW Conference connecting startups with capital, coverage and all resources a company needs to grow.
