summit 2026

unlock VC Summit is back — and this time, we're heading to Barcelona.

Five years in, we’ve learnt how to make the most of summit — and it really is unlike anything else. It's not the agenda that makes the difference, but what happens between the agenda.

In 2026, we're leaning all the way into that with fewer panels, more intimate rooms, and deeper, practical conversations. We’re scheduling in more time this year to talk to and learn from the people in the room with you. And for more fun.

We're bringing 400+ female GPs, LPs, investors, founders and operators to Norrsken House Barcelona for three days built around the thing every single one of you told us you came for: Meaningful time to make meaningful connections.

Three days. Real conversations. No filler.

We've redesigned summit from the ground up based on your feedback:

Intimate spaces where conversations go somewhere, because the room is small enough to let it.

Curated time with the investors, LPs and founders you actually want to meet.

Side events worth staying for. Barcelona is a gift. We're going to use it.

And yes, we’ve made room for fun. Because that’s how the best relationships start.


What you told us you wanted. What we built.

You said: “a handful of new connections I can actually text.” You said: “meet my next LP. You said: “find my next co-investor.” You said: “Finally feel like I belong in this room.”

We heard you. Summit 26 is built around you.

400+ investors.
Smaller sessions.
Bigger impact.
