Building the Future of Tech Leadership in Europe, Together
CTO Craft Con: Europe comes to Amsterdam, 29-30 September 2026, uniting technology leaders from across Europe.

This is not a traditional conference. It is a community gathering, a chance to share what works (and what doesn’t), exchange ideas, and leave with insights and tools you can put into practice straight away.
