Canal Cruising: Sail & Scale in Good Company
We’re hosting this event on Day 1 of TechBBQ - just 20 minutes from the main venue (Bella Center) by public transport.
It’s a chance to step away from the crowds and connect in a more focused setting. We’re bringing together founders, investors, and ecosystem players for a networking experience that’s a little different - part on water, part on land.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll kick things off with a boat tour. Each boat hosts a small group and is guided by a partner with hands-on experience in scaling and expansion.
There are six boats, six themes - all focused on different aspects of building and growing a business:
Goodwille: The UK and beyond – how to successfully scale your business internationally
Are you considering scaling to or in the UK? We’ll share the do’s, the don’ts and the reasons why the UK is the perfect springboard to going global.
Rödl & Partner: Seeing the North as one market
Expanding across borders? Join for a chat about tax, structure, and how to stay compliant as you grow.
Nara Communications: Getting your story out there
Let’s talk about shaping your narrative and building visibility in new markets.
TABS: US Expansion
The do's and don'ts for a successful expansion to the US market.
Copenhagen Capacity: Where green ideas set sail
Curious about circular, green, and sustainable opportunities in Denmark and Greater Copenhagen?
Nobel Recruitment: Scaling your GTM team internationally
Let's discuss how to attract 'top-tier' talent and avoid mis-hires, when entering a new market
When signing up, you’ll be asked to select the boats that interest you most, so we can match you with a relevant topic.
After the boats: food, drinks & community
Once back on land, we’ll gather at Talent Garden for street food, drinks, and relaxed networking with the wider community.
No stages. No slides. Just founder-to-founder conversations - real talk in good company.
