What's a Go Global Conference?

Through participating in world leading tech conferences, we unite the Belgian Tech ecosystem and create opportunities in access to capital, visibility & press exposure. We offer coaching & mentoring to help you prepare and we bring the Belgian scene together thanks to a series of social activities.

In May 2016, the city of Amsterdam plays host to the 11th annual TNW Conference, a gathering of immense scale that brings together 20,000 of the world’s top technology leaders, venture capitalists, and entrepreneurs. Business development, thought-leading content and endless networking opportunities are tied together by more than 10 stages, 500 exhibitor pavilions and 145 fringe events about the future of technology, innovation, marketing, communication and imagination.
