Netherland Digital Festival 2026
On Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 November 2026, the very first edition of the Netherlands Digital Festival (formerly the ECP Annual Festival) will take place, organized by ECP and SIDN. This independent event brings together governments, market parties, and experts to jointly set the course for a safe, reliable, and future-proof digital society.
The Netherlands is at a digital crossroads. Rapid technological changes and a growing social impact require concrete cooperation, alignment, and direction in practice. The festival bridges the gap between policy and implementation, and between innovation and execution.
Program:
Wednesday 18 November | Deep dive: direction on digital infrastructure (The Hague)
On Wednesday afternoon, a private, in-depth deep dive will take place regarding the direction on digital infrastructure, viewed from both the demand and supply side.
