TLDR: Initial reports suggesting the Financial Times has decided to shut down the TNW Tech Conference are contradicted by extensive online information. The TNW Conference is actively promoting its 2025 edition, scheduled for June 19-20, 2025, in Amsterdam, with the Financial Times even participating as a partner.
Recent claims circulating about the Financial Times (FT) discontinuing the TNW Tech Conference appear to be unfounded, as a thorough internet search reveals the event is not only proceeding but is being actively promoted for its 2025 iteration. The TNW Conference, a prominent technology festival in Europe, is slated to take place on June 19-20, 2025, at NDSM, Amsterdam.
Contrary to the initial news summary, the Financial Times is listed as a partner for the upcoming 2025 conference, with dedicated FT sessions planned as part of the event’s agenda. The conference website and various event listings highlight a vibrant program designed to bring together industry leaders, tech enthusiasts, founders, investors, and corporate innovators.
The 2025 edition of the TNW Conference is described as a curated, two-day gathering for the European tech ecosystem, expecting to welcome 4,500 attendees, including over 2,000 startups and scaleups, 675 investors, 900 corporate innovators, and 900 government and ecosystem leaders. The event will feature over 150 sessions across three content stages, focusing on themes such as Growth & Venture, Next in Tech (including AI, deeptech, and sustainability), and Enterprise Innovation.
Notably, discussions around artificial intelligence are a significant component of the 2025 conference. Sessions like ‘AI, Fraud, and the Future of Money’ and ‘Juggling Rulebooks & Rocketships: Balancing in Motion’ will explore the transformative impact of AI on various sectors, including fraud detection, risk management, and financial security, as well as Europe’s role in shaping the future of AI policy and innovation. The conference kicked off with a grand opening featuring Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten, Founder & Chairman of TNW, who shared a positive message about future tech innovations.

The event is also a flagship component of Amsterdam’s 750th-anniversary celebrations, aiming to position the city as a hub for the next generation of innovation and progress. This robust planning and active promotion directly contradict any reports of the conference being shut down.
