A range of creative professionals will be featured, from DJs and musicians to tech start-ups and marketing managers.

Where to stay: Hotel TwentySeven, 5 star small luxury hotel, is known for its excellent location, which is right at the heart of Amsterdam.

Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria

Ever thought of blasting rock music in the snow? BergFestival, this year set on December 6th to 8th, does just that! Join thousands of visitors at the fifth BergFestival for the coolest lineup as of yet. It doesn’t matter if temperatures are below zero, Bavarian brass band LaBrassBanda, German pop/hip hop duo, and more international rockstars will pump up the energy and get you jumping in no time. Instead of the summer heat that you would usually associate with music festivals, fans won’t be able to resist the open-air and the echoing of music across the Alps.
