IRF 2026 European Thought Leader Summit

Tivoli Hotel, Copenhagen, Denmark

The IRF European Thought Leader Summit is coming to Copenhagen. The Incentive Research Foundation looks forward to gathering some of the brightest minds in the industry to discuss new IRF research on the European incentive market in a truly stunning setting.

Now in its second year, the IRF European Thought Leader Summit is regarded by past attendees as a unique opportunity to learn from industry experts and peers. There are no supplier appointments as the time is structured around education presentations, facilitated discussions, and peer networking.

During the two-day experiential event, attendees will have the opportunity to collaborate with peers, engage in candid discussions about the industry, and access top research, including:

  • Industry Outlook for 2026: Merchandise, Gift Cards and Event Gifting – European data
  • What Top Performing European Companies Do Differently (to be released March 2026)
  • 2025 Incentive Travel Index – European data
