KINNERNORD
February 29th – March 3rd, 2024
The 5th Kinnernord will be taking place in Rannahotell, Pärnu, Estonia.
Kinnernord is the Nordic edition of the internationally acclaimed Kinnernet
Kinnernet was created by Yossi Vardi, Israeli technology legend, founder of the DLD Conferences, and one of the significant figures of the global innovation community. Over the past 15 years, Kinnernet has become one of the most celebrated invite-only "un-conference" events globally. It’s been organised in wonderful, sunny and warm places such as Avalon, Venice and Lisbon.
Kinnernord is different. Originated from the discussion of Yossi Vardi and Jussi Tapio (which Yossi described as the “most stupid idea he has heard”), it is held annually in the middle of the deepest winter in the north, surrounded by the darkness, coldness, ice and fire.
It is not your traditional conference
Kinnernord is an un-conference. It is a format where carefully curated participants create an inspiring, bottom-up experience. The event resides on the principles of civic responsibility, immediacy, radical participation (everybody contributes), kindness, reflection & respect, and self-reliance.
The un-conference format lends itself to maximum self-organisation and unexpected encounters that may or may not lead to: collaborations, creative projects, finding a centuries-old solution to time travel, book clubs, new ventures, scientific and business collaborations and long lasting global peer- and friendships.
The community is formed of entrepreneurs, technology visionaries, startup founders, scientists, innovators, policymakers, media professionals, artists and creatives. They share the goal of co-creating new ideas, exploring new concepts, discussing the future of the humanity and how to improve the world.
Could you be one of us?
Kinnernord is an exclusive event by invitation only. That being said, we are always looking for new, wonderful people who are willing to contribute to the community.
The participants tend to depart the event amazed, inspired, full of energy and armed with new thinking, new ideas and new friends.
