Late Summer Drink

Late Summer Drink 2026:
25 Years of Trusted Interconnection

Twenty-five years ago, the Internet looked very different.

Streaming was science fiction, cloud computing wasn't a thing, and "always online" was far from reality. Yet one thing has remained unchanged: the need for trusted interconnection.

On Thursday 10 September 2026, we invite customers, partners and friends of NL-ix to celebrate 25 years of trusted interconnection.

Before the celebration begins, we'll spend the afternoon reflecting on the developments that shaped the Internet over the past 25 years and exploring what the next 25 years of interconnection may bring.

Afternoon Sessions - 15:00 – 17:00 CEST

Late Summer Drink - 17.00 - 23.00 CEST

At 17:00, the programme transitions into the Late Summer Drink.

A milestone like 25 years deserves a moment to celebrate. Not only the growth of NL-ix, but also the people, organisations and partnerships that have contributed to a stronger and better-connected Internet over the past quarter century.

Join us for an evening of good food, cold drinks, sea views and conversations that continue long after the presentations have ended.

We look forward to celebrating 25 years of trusted interconnection with you.

See you at the beach.
