Join Europe's Largest Business & Leadership Event

In a world of machines, AI, and constant change, what is the Human Edge? Could competitive advantage lie in distinctly human capabilities: the ability to create, collaborate, decide, and lead?

Rapid technological advancement can easily distract us from our human strengths. On 16-17 September in Helsinki, thousands of leaders gather to explore how to utilize our innate resilience, courage, and discernment to make better decisions, improve performance, and create collaboration.

This event discovers the power of people working with people. We’ll explore our uniquely human ability to use tools like AI, design organizations that benefit from them, and collaborate to achieve outcomes no individual could reach alone.

With world-class thinkers and doers on stage, NBF 2026 is where personal growth turns into collective success.
