Corporate Rebels Switzerland Gathering 2026
Where forward-thinking leaders, founders, corporate rebels and transformation architects meet, greet, connect and thrive
What a night! Speakers from very different worlds shared their stories, efforts, and challenges with the audience—from a pharmaceutical startup to a correctional facility, from a digital agency to a media cooperative, from philosophically grounded work on «source» to the day-to-day mechanics of open books and shared ownership. No glossy success story theater (and certainly no PowerPoint) and no perfect recipes. Just people sharing what they’re trying, what they’re learning, and where things get difficult.
A huge thank you to everyone who came, contributed, listened, challenged, helped, hosted, poured drinks, moved chairs, and brought this evening to life.

Admission
Seats are limited, and we're especially keen to fill the room with people doing the work inside organizations: founders, CEOs, leaders, HR pioneers and change makers. If that's you, now's the time to secure your seat.
FUELING THE REBELLION
The rebellion runs on ideas, but not only: expect great food from Ars Culinaria and local craft beer on tap from Brauerei Oerlikon to keep the conversations flowing.
