The 8th Annual Summit • İstanbul • September 25th-27th, 2024

Join us this fall for our 8th annual conference in İstanbul - one of the world’s most exhilarating and historical places!

Three nights of adventures surround two days of enriching discussion. Friendships and ideas will flourish in unique and stunning venues.

The Forum will be held at the Ottoman Empire’s central bank, which is now a financial history museum. As foodies, we have organized conference catering by Michelin-starred Neolokal. Beyond the formal meetings, for three nights in a row, we will revel in Turkish culture, feeling the pulse and soul of this metropolis which has been thriving for thousands of years.

Our official hotel partner is DeCamondo Galata, adjacent to the venue. Participants are welcome to stay anywhere.

The Forum kicks off Wednesday evening, September 25th, and concludes Friday, September 27th, with dinner at Sunset Grill, one of the finest restaurants in Europe.
