NEXT CONFERENCE
September 18, 2025 • Reeperbahn, Hamburg
Innovate. Inspire. Ignite.
Step into a world of ideas, connections, and groundbreaking discussions.
Join the thinkers, makers, and doers shaping the future.

This is the End.
Today, Technology reshapes industries, societies and even human identity faster than ever. It feels like the End of the world as we know it is coming over and over again. But with every End something new arises – with new chances and new realms to explore. So let’s celebrate the End. And find out what’s next.
At NEXT25, we explore the magic of new beginnings. And there are many. Old structures collapse, industries reinvent themselves, and new opportunities emerge. From the rise of AI and smart technologies to shifts in power, culture, and even our own bodies. How do we navigate this change? What should we keep? What should we embrace? And are there Ends that are long overdue to start something new?
Join us for inspiring keynotes in the morning at the Schmidts Tivoli Theatre and deep-dive into transformation in masterclasses and workshops in the afternoon—set in the buzzing bars and clubs of the Reeperbahn.
