WHAT IS THE VL SUMMIT?
The VL Summit is VL’s iconic event with great Danish and international speakers, engaging leadership cases as well as festive elements and not least the opportunity to network with other VL members.
The VL Summit is the culmination of VL’s Annual Theme. With the help of a competent Advisory Board and a special eye for VL’s diversity, specific sub-themes are emphasized that are relevant for leaders in both eastern and western Denmark and which are relevant for SMEs as well as for large global companies and public institutions. This will also be reflected in the series of speakers and the concrete cases on the day itself.
At the VL Summit, a business-oriented management perspective is the constant, and there will be both national and international speakers who will focus on the sub-themes and participate in highly topical panel discussions. There will also be a focus on concrete and relevant business cases, and the participants will work with the challenges that arise.
How long does the VL Summit last?
The VL Summit 2025 spans over a day and evening. The day is filled with major keynotes, panel debates, and engaging sessions, concluding with the evening’s festive dinner with entertainment and music.
