What is techbbq?
TechBBQ started out as a small BBQ gathering for tech enthusiasts and entrepreneurs back in 2013, in a park in Copenhagen. Over the years, it has grown and evolved into the largest and most hyggelig event of its kind in Scandinavia.
Each year, TechBBQ welcomes an increasing number of people from around the globe. The annual summit seamlessly connects tech and hygge, creating a setting where attendees meet innovative and groundbreaking startups, investors, thought leaders, and community players. Here, the latest trends are explored, meaningful connections are made in a cozy and vibrant atmosphere, inspiration flows from trendsetting speakers, and everything is topped off with a good old-fashioned BBQ.
