TNW Moves Its Flagship Conference to London

"The Next Web (TNW) is making a bold move: its flagship conference is relocating to London, placing TNW's main annual event at the centre of one of the world's most powerful technology and investment ecosystems. The move marks a significant moment for TNW and signals a broader evolution of the brand's global events strategy. A new concept: TNW Gathering Alongside the move to London, TNW is introducing a new global event concept: TNW Gathering."

"Designed as an intimate, invite-only format, TNW Gathering is created for members of the TNW Council and a carefully selected group of founders, operators, and investors. In 2026, TNW Gathering will take place across a select list of international locations: Each Gathering is intentionally small, prioritising meaningful conversations, trusted relationships, and long-term collaboration over scale. TNW Conference London: public tickets, curated access While TNW Gathering remains private by design, TNW Conference London will be open to the public, with tickets available for purchase."

"One of the communities contributing to this early access is tekpon, which connects a large number of SaaS founders and tech executives aligned with TNW's audience. Alexandru Stan, founder of tekpon, believes conferences create impact well beyond the stage: " I am a big believer in conferences, because their social impact is far greater than people imagine. This is where lifelong friendships are formed, partnerships are built, and businesses grow. I met my wife at a business conference. ""
