TL;DR: Real stories, tangible lessons learned, honest discussions, fun side events and a curated community of 5000 doers who truly know their spiel. Startups, VCs, seasoned founders and operators: all talking about starting, scaling, creating, failing, pivoting, fundraising, leading, and navigating this brand new world we’re living in.

Got a story to share?

We’re all ears.

Doers Summit is a curated gathering of vetted “doers,” taking place in Athens in May 2026. We’re creating the most valuable space in Emerging Europe for top-tier founders, investors, and operators to connect, discuss business, learn from one another, and discover opportunities for funding, partnerships, and talent.

What sets Doers Summit apart is its uncompromisingly practical focus on the entrepreneurial journey. Speakers will share actionable insights ready for implementation in other businesses. Seasoned founders will recount their unfiltered journeys, while investors provide a funding perspective. C-level operators will discuss strategies and experiences in scaling and nurturing successful companies.

In addition to talks and panels, attendees will have ample opportunities to network, brainstorm, and participate in discussion groups to amplify the lessons learned.

In true The Doers Company fashion, we’re bringing our signature festival spirit to Athens. For reference, check out Reflect Festival, one of the biggest tech and startup events connecting EMEA stakeholders. We’ve been organizing it in Cyprus since 2018, scaling to 10,000 attendees annually.
