The question is not whether change is coming.
The question is: will you follow it, or lead it?
This is not a conference. It is a turning point.
The rules of entrepreneurship are being rewritten. Political shifts, ecological pressure, social tension and economic uncertainty are changing the world at extraordinary speed.
Adapting is no longer enough.
This is the moment for entrepreneurs who create instead of wait. Who see opportunities where others see risks. The mavericks, idealists and gamechangers who build new categories, claim their own space and change the rules of the game.
At EO Unlimited 2027, 300 entrepreneurs from across Europe will come together in Amsterdam for three days of bold ideas, honest conversations and unforgettable experiences. You will not remain on the sidelines. You will be challenged to question your assumptions, sharpen your direction and turn new insights into meaningful action.

Three days.
One extraordinary journey.
From first spark to meaningful action, EO Unlimited 2027 takes you through three distinct stages: IGNITE, TRANSFORM and APPLY.
Expect bold ideas, immersive experiences, honest conversations and plenty of time to connect with entrepreneurs from across Europe.
The programme is still evolving. More details will be revealed in the months ahead.
Programme and timings are indicative and subject to change.
WEDNESDAY, 6 OCTOBER
IGNITE |
CHALLENGE WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS POSSIBLE |
|---|
EO Unlimited begins on Wednesday afternoon, when entrepreneurs from across Europe come together in Amsterdam.
After registration and a relaxed welcome, we officially open the festival with stories and perspectives from Mavericks, Idealists and Gamechangers. Entrepreneurs who challenged convention, transformed their industries and created their own path.
From there, we take to the water. Experience Amsterdam from its historic canals while connecting with fellow entrepreneurs over drinks, conversation and spectacular city views.
The evening continues with curated dinners in small groups across Amsterdam. No predictable networking and no empty small talk, but meaningful conversations with entrepreneurs who understand the opportunities and challenges you face.
THURSDAY, 7 OCTOBER
TRANSFORM |
A FESTIVAL OF IDEAS, ENERGY AND CONNECTION |
|---|
Thursday is the beating heart of EO Unlimited 2027.
A full day where entrepreneurship, creativity and festival energy come together. Expect powerful speakers, unexpected performances, interactive experiences and perspectives that challenge how you think, lead and build.
You will not remain on the sidelines. Throughout the day, you will exchange ideas with fellow entrepreneurs, reflect on your own reality and transform fresh insights into new choices and ambitions.
Between the main programme and immersive sessions, there will be plenty of space to explore, enjoy great food and make valuable connections.
As day turns into night, the festival continues with dinner, music and the legendary Orange Party. An unforgettable celebration filled with connection, energy and pure orange spirit.
FRIDAY, 8 OCTOBER
APPLY |
MOVE FROM INSIGHT TO ACTION |
|---|
On Friday, Amsterdam becomes your entrepreneurial playground.
During the Scale-up Safari, you will explore the city in small groups and step inside forward thinking companies. Meet the entrepreneurs behind them, experience their businesses up close and hear the honest stories behind their growth.
No polished theories, but real decisions, setbacks, breakthroughs and lessons from entrepreneurs who are building every day.
After the Safari, we come together for lunch before moving into a powerful final afternoon. Through inspiring speakers, shared reflection and meaningful conversations, we connect the experiences and insights of the previous days to your own leadership, business and ambitions.
What will you take home? What will you do differently? And which idea are you ready to turn into action?
EO Unlimited 2027 concludes with a shared closing dinner. A final moment to connect, celebrate new friendships and look ahead to what comes next.
For those who are still not ready to call it a night, an optional MyEO Amsterdam Experience will follow. Separate registration will apply.
