A sun deck instead of a meeting room. Real insights instead of endless slides.
We’re swapping stale coffee for refreshing drinks and the treadmill for a surfboard. Welcome to the Analytics Summer Apéro 2026—the event for the latest insights on hot summer days.
This year, let's ride the Wave of Change. Never been on a board before, or haven’t been on one in a while? No problem—we’ll guide you every step of the way and provide the key insights you need to confidently navigate AI and data trends, turn them into real business value, and keep a cool head throughout.
