BASE 2026: Co-Creation, Building Better Businesses Together

BASE 2026: Co-Creation, Building Better Businesses Together realiza-se a 29 de outubro de 2026, Social Impact Factory - Kauwgomballenfabriek, em Amsterdam.

Business doesn't have to be a solo sport. BASE 2026 brings founders, creators and changemakers to Amsterdam for a day of real conversations, practical learning, and the kind of connections that turn into actual business. We keep the room to around 150 people on purpose. Small enough that you'll actually talk to people. Curated enough that the people you talk to are worth talking to. Theme 2026: Co-Creation, Building Better Businesses Together This year we look at how entrepreneurs, organisations, communities and partners work together to build stronger businesses, more relevant solutions, and healthier ecosystems. Less grinding alone and more building together. The four pillars Everything at BASE is built around four things every founder has to get right: BUILD : Resource management and strong foundations ADVANCE: Sales and marketing that connect SUSTAIN : Finance and profitability with impact ELEVATE: Innovation that drives growth What the day looks like Main stage sessions — speakers who've built it, not just theorised about it Workshops and masterclasses — small groups, hands-on, something you can use straight away Expert Q&A sessions — 30 minutes, your questions, direct answers Curated networking — we make introductions on purpose, not by accident Closing drinks — where a lot of the good stuff happens anyway Who's in the room BASE is intentionally curated. Expect founders and decision-makers from small and mid-sized businesses, startups and scale-ups, usually teams of 1 to 20. Founders and business owners C-level and leadership from growing companies Consultants, coaches, creatives and professional service providers People working in tech, marketing, sustainability and beyond What they have in common: values-driven, building for the long term, and more interested in collaborating than competing. Built around what founders actually asked for We surveyed our community about what they're working on right now. Sales and finding clients came out on top, followed by marketing and visibility, and building strategic partnerships. Scaling sustainably and getting systems in place came next. The BASE 2026 programme is built directly around those answers. What people tell us they come for Meeting potential collaborators and partners. Face-to-face connection instead of another video call. Learning from people who've done it. Peer support from founders who get it. And business development that doesn't feel like being sold to. That's what we design for.
