Two Forums per Year. Two Intensive Days Each.

In 2026, the Brain Circle convenes two in-person forums, each spanning two intensive days:

  • April 2026 | Vienna, Austria
  • October 2026 | Barcelona, Spain

Between forums, participants have dedicated time for reflection, follow-up, and practical implementation. Optional online sessions and peer sparring ensure that insights and strategic discussions continue to evolve beyond the in-person meetings.

High-Impact Forum Sessions.

Each forum features three outcome-driven session types, designed around business-critical challenges presented by members – from strategic dilemmas to disruptive business models or high-stakes decisions:

Open Space Group Sessions

Participant-led dialogues that surface blind spots, reveal new perspectives, and stimulate creative problem-solving.

Ideas Lab Sessions

Focused workshops that transform pioneering ideas into actionable strategies delivering tangible outcomes.

Motion-Debate Sessions

Structured debates that test assumptions, refine strategic choices, and uncover alternative approaches.

These sessions are combined flexibly across the two intensive days, providing a dynamic and immersive program that strengthens decision-making, fosters collaboration, and leverages cross-industry insights.

Annual Membership

Participation in the Brain Circle is invitation-only and requires an annual membership, providing access to both forums and curated in-person and online dialogues. Travel and accommodation are arranged individually, ensuring flexibility and convenience for each member.
