A Hive Summit in central Europe

Yeah, we’ve got to meet up this summer – right in the heart of Europe!

Save the 22.8. 25 to the 24.8.25 to your calendar

Where Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany meet (and Luxembourg’s just around the corner), we’re bringing people together from all over for a one-of-a-kind summit. You don’t want to miss this.

This is just the appetizer aka the "Save the date" post and there will be quickly some more facts about speakers, sponsors, locations and and and.....

Stay tuned for more about #HiveSummitAachen

A cool location

Tucked right in the heart of Aachen’s old town is something seriously unexpected – the Digital Church.
Yup, an actual church turned into a high-tech hotspot for creators, coders, and game-changers.
Think stained glass meets startup vibes – neon lights, buzzing ideas, and way more laptops than hymn books.

Events, hackathons, talks – it’s where digital minds meet under gothic arches.

The best part? It still feels sacred – just not in the traditional sense.
Holy innovation, Batman – this place is a must-see if you love tech with soul.

The best of it. We tested the location already last year with a smaller Event and it worked so perfect with damn high quality.

Lovely side events

Visit the 3 border point

Standing at the exact point where #Germany, #Belgium, and the #Netherlands meet – how wild is that?

You can literally put each foot in a different country and spin around like a globe!

There’s a tower with epic views, winding trails, and even a maze to get lost in (on purpose).
Grab fries in Belgium, a coffee in the Netherlands, and be back in Germany before your phone switches networks.

It’s not just a border – it’s a bucket-list checkpoint for travelers and geo-nerds alike.
If you're in Aachen, this is a must. Three countries, one selfie. Let’s go!

Visit the student town

Visit the Catherdal

Step into Aachen Cathedral and you’re walking straight into over 1,200 years of history – no big deal, right?

Built by Charlemagne himself, it’s where emperors were crowned and legends were born.

The mix of styles – from Romanesque to Gothic – gives it this magical, timeless vibe.
Inside, golden mosaics shimmer like something out of a dream, and the octagon in the center? Absolutely iconic.

You don’t just see history here – you feel it in every stone, every echo.
Whether you're into architecture, history, or just want a moment of awe – this place hits different. This is our best visit for Sunday after we had the Saturday at the digital church with is not "active" anymore.
