NEXT Retreat Europe 2026

NEXT Retreat Europe 2026 took place from 12 to 14 October at the Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort in Peyia, Cyprus. It is run by NEXT.io and limited to 100 invited C-level delegates, split evenly between 50 operators and 50 suppliers, with discussions held under the Chatham House Rule. Companies listed as attending included Entain, Tipico, Super Group, 1xBet and Coolbet, while partners included BetConstruct, SoftSwiss, Optimove and Betby. The format favoured conversation over stage time. Monday brought a yacht tour and welcome drinks. On Tuesday morning delegates rotated between themed high tables on crypto, prediction markets, M&A and partnerships, with no stage and no slides, and held pre-booked meetings. The afternoon was left for activities such as padel, a golf range, a buggy tour and wine tasting, followed by a networking dinner. Wednesday's closing session was a 'pick a card' format in which delegates chose the topics to debate, and the retreat ended at 14:00. The organiser has not published attendance beyond the 100-delegate cap.
