350 leaders. Two days. One mission: build better workplaces.
The Corporate Rebels Summit is the annual in-person gathering of the Rebel Cells network. 350 leaders from organizations across 30+ countries come to Amsterdam to swap what's actually working inside their companies: decentralization, distributed decision-making, purpose-driven structures. Most of what happens at the summit comes from the attendees themselves: the sessions they host, the cases they share, the problems they put on the table for the group to work on.
What two days at the summit actually looks like
Hosted by people who've actually built it
Every session is led by someone running a pioneering organization. They share what's working inside their company, including the messy bits they usually keep off LinkedIn.Honest stories from the inside
Founders and rebels walk through the experiments that worked and the ones that flopped. The room is closed, so the honest version comes out.Workshop the thing you're stuck on
Bring a real challenge from your organization. Sit with peers who've been through it before and leave with ideas worth trying.What happens between the sessions
Often the most useful part. Lunches that stretch into the afternoon, dinners that run late, and beers at the bar long after the program ends.
