The Next Web, the annual Amsterdam tech conference bought by the Financial Times in 2019, is shutting down, reports Amy Lewin of Sifted.
Lewin writes, “TNW, the company behind the event, alongside a coworking space and a digital media publication of the same name, plans to wind down its events and media business by the end of September ‘following a strategic review,” the FT has confirmed to Sifted.
“‘This decision was communicated to affected staff in June and we are supporting them through this transition,’ said the FT.
“TNW held its last event in June this year at NDSM, a former shipyard on Amsterdam’s waterfront, with over 5,800 registered attendees and over 200 speakers.
“TNW’s coworking business, which offers private offices alongside coworking memberships in central Amsterdam, will “operate as usual”, an FT spokesperson confirmed.”
