ACCELER8IT 2026 · 8–9 October · Gdańsk
Discover Gdańsk
Two days of conference on Wyspa Spichrzów – and a city worth an extra evening. Our shortlist of where to walk, eat, sleep and park.
01 The venue
Where ACCELER8IT meets the Baltic
ACCELER8IT takes place at Radisson Hotel & Suites on Wyspa Spichrzów – the island between the Motława and the Old Town, rebuilt from historic granaries into one of the liveliest parts of Gdańsk.
Everything on this page is within walking distance or a short taxi ride, so you can step out between sessions and be back before the next case study starts.
