BAD1 Conference 2027
BAD1 is back.
Last June, 500 of Europe’s top 1% tech talent came together in Berlin: founders, investors and builders representing €500B+ in collective VC AuM, €110B+ in cumulative startup valuation, and 100 of Europe’s most promising entrepreneurs under 25yo.
Al Gore opened, before some of the brightest minds in tech and venture came together around one question: Is Europe cooked? After a day of conversations, ambitious ideas and clear calls to action, the answer was clear: turns out, we’re cooking.
Then we took everyone out and showed them how Berlin does an afterparty.
On June 11, 2027, BAD1 is coming back.
We’re going to push the conversation, bringing together the people who can strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty and put Berlin at the center of the global tech discourse.
Expect top-notch insights, high-quality networking and a proper Berlin night.
500 people with the highest density of talent possible.
This is your chance to secure an Early Bird ticket for BAD1 2027.
