The Executive Room

Behind the Closed Door

“What an amazing experience at Next IT Security! I’m deeply grateful to the organisers, the attendees, and my fellow speakers.”

Burakhan TahmazGroup Information Security Officer (Europe)Kyocera

Closed-door, C-suite only, capped at 150 — one room in Amsterdam, built for conversations that don't happen anywhere else.

Agenda ↓
Beyond the Agenda

World-Class Hospitality

Three moments built into every day, included for every delegate — the same conversations, just without the structure.

01

Power Breakfast

Start the morning inside Felix Meritis, the 1777 Keizersgracht landmark built for Amsterdam's society of scientists, artists and entrepreneurs — its Pillared Hall looks onto the canal. Coffee before the first session.

02

Executive Lunch

Lunch occurs at the same canal-side hall — a quieter half-hour to continue the morning's conversations, or start new ones, before the agenda resumes.

03

Annual Dinner & Cruise

The evening moves onto the water, aboard the boat, before dinner at the restaurant. No agenda, no podium — just the room, and Amsterdam's canals going by.
