The conversation

What will 2027
reward?

Every January, much of the technology and investment world passes through Munich on the way to the Alps.

We use the evening before DLD Munich opens to sit down properly: drinks, a short fireside chat at dinner, then chaired conversations at each table. Bring a question from your work and hear how others are approaching it.

Part of the Tech for Impact series, ahead of Tech for Impact Asia in Tokyo (May 2027) and Tech for Impact Europe in Munich (September 2027).

Who the dinner is for

Investors
Family offices, private investors, fund managers and corporate investors.
