Book your own flight and stay (any budget), we handle everything else. FREE for Sunny Friends (€/$500/year).
Theme: Art & Networking
How do we build innovative businesses for the world around us?
Residencies:
Weeklong workations that break silos and unlock new sources of inspiration, giving you the headspace and toolkit to reframe your working life and business.
Every quarter, Sunny Future blocks one week for us to converge in a dreamy location. It's the perfect container to travel, connect, work, and broaden horizons. The week is always transformative and magical - focused on new friendships and evolving ambitions, designed to weave the world around us into our next chapters.
Where?
The Venice Architecture Biennale (2025) was a blast. For our spring residency, we return to Venice for a week mixing art viewings, power networking, live sessions, food adventures, and personal time for deep work with canal views.
Venice is buzzing in May. Just book your flight and accommodation (1★ to 5★ - your choice). We'll take care of the rest. If work gets demanding, dip in and out knowing we're here throughout the week.
Venice is the cradle of exploration and entrepreneurship. Its endless relevance and current revival highlight new possibilities, while the Art Biennale is the opportunity to unleash what's next through contemporary art.
While the full program hasn't been announced, it will pay tribute to Swiss-Cameroonian art curator Koyo Kouoh, who was due to curate the exhibition. We're arranging talks with artists, craftmakers, and changemakers.
What you'll gain

Curiosity
