The Grand Closing Event - The Grand Tech Review by Peter Hinssen
You all remember our closing talk by Peter Hinssen last year. Well… we’re bringing the legend back on stage.
We opened this season with ambition, a drive to think BIG, connect meaningfully, and build boldly together.
As 2025 comes to a close, we invite you to our Grand Closing: an evening to reflect on that ambition, celebrate how far we’ve come, and refine a shared vision for 2026.
We’ll reconnect, learn from our journey, and amplify what’s next.
Because ambition isn’t just about dreaming, it’s about doing, together, and making it Collective.
Tonight, we reflect deeply, celebrate meaningfully, and recommit to our shared ambition as we step into 2026.
And to help you truly connect: your wingwoman is back: Conversation Starter.
During the networking moments, set up your profile, discover who’s who, and schedule intentional 1:1s.
Smart networking > random networking.
To round off the night? Black Frank will bring the DJ magic to dance 2025 away in style.

NO-SHOW POLICY - We’re becoming stricter on no-shows—not to be difficult, but because empty spots mean someone else misses out.
Soon, no-shows will be linked to a €25 contribution to the Wintercircus Fund, an initiative supporting those who might otherwise have less access to networks like ours.
