ABOUT NEXT

This is NEXT

Discover the future of digital business at NEXT, Europe’s premier innovation conference since 2006. What began as an intimate gathering of friends has evolved into an internationally connected platform for exploring the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.

At NEXT, we bring together diverse perspectives from business, politics, science, and art to spark conversations that cross boundaries. We tackle questions that matter: How does innovation shape our world? How are human behaviors and customer expectations transforming? And what does this mean for the future of our companies and society?

Our flagship event takes place each September in Hamburg, Germany, during the renowned Reeperbahn Festival. Hosted in the iconic Schmidts Tivoli Theatre, it’s a full-day experience bringing together digital pioneers, strategists, marketers, innovators, and creative minds from around the globe.

NEXT thrives on its intimate atmosphere, maintained through a selective, invitation-based process. Past speakers include visionaries like Amy Webb, Azeem Azhar, Anab Jain, and Tim Ferriss, among many others.

Stay inspired. Join us in shaping the digital future. Explore our events, subscribe to our newsletter, and connect with a community driving innovation worldwide.
