Announcing The Next Web Conference Europe 2014 in Amsterdam

On April 24 and 25 next year, The Next Web Conference will be back again in Amsterdam to bring together the world’s tech industry.

What’s new

After selling out at 2,000 attendees last year we’ve decided to expand TNW conference. We’re redesigning the format, doubling the number of speakers and creating room for 2,500 people to do business and explore the future of technology, it’s business and culture. The icing to the cake; this year’s conference will be followed directly by the infamous Dutch Kings Day!

The content at TNW2014 ranges from visionary speeches about the tech-focused future of our world, to hands on presentations on marketing, publishing, design and development and inspiring sessions on leadership and management.

Be prepared for an unusual show with tons of insights, valuable business, new friends and ridiculous stuff you’ve never seen at a conference before. After all, we are the team that brought you cows on stage and speakers serving cocktails.
