After the success of our launch event in May 2025, we're bringing the community together again. Momentum around steward-ownership is growing rapidly across Europe and beyond, with more companies, investors and policymakers exploring ownership models built for long-term purpose and independence.

On November 17 join entrepreneurs, investors, researchers and changemakers for a day of bold conversations, practical insights and meaningful connections.

After the energy and inspiration of our launch event, we’re excited to come together again — and aim to at least match that incredible vibe.

We'll be diving deeper into the movement, sharing new stories from the field, and continuing the conversations that matter.

More details coming soon. In the meantime, you can already preregister.
Spread the word and stay connected with us.
