Latest news about the conference
Read more news about The Next Web Conference on the blog.From Amsterdam with Love, behind the scenes
Every year Boris comes up to me during or after the conference saying: "I'm so looking forward to next year, it is going to be soo much easier to organize all this" and every year we come to the conclusion that this is just not true. Sure, our network is getting bigger every year, sure the name The Next Web is becoming more and more well known in Europe and overseas, sure we've learned a lot on how to organize such an event over the past 3 years, BUT we don't want to sit still and just organize the same conference each year. We're entrepreneurs and we like to improve every time we get the chance. Just like with apps, you need to push the limit, you need to build a better product each day of the year.Every year it is just as tough or more tough to organize The Next Web. I'd like to give you some insight in the organization, our thoughts and motivation and how we came to the point where we are right now. Read more
