Gala Dinner

June 3rd, Poolen Copenhagen

Join this evening's festivities and celebrate the most influential angel investing communities of 2025!

Take some time during the Congress to join us in celebrating the Angel Investment Ecosystem and recognizing the best from our network!

There’s no better way to forge lasting connections than over delicious food and a great bottle of wine. And as tradition dictates, be sure to bring your dancing shoes—we’ll be dancing the night away once the music starts!

Not a fan of dancing? No problem! After-dinner drinks and a quiet space will be available, so you can continue that delightful conversation with the dashing person beside you.

  • Gala Dinner dresscode is Business Casual though you are under no obligation to conduct any business during the evening. For those on the fence, there is no such thing as over dressing and we encorage you to elevate your style beyond the minimum dress code requirements.

  • The evening kicks off at 18:30 with reception drinks. If you prefer to be fashionably late but still want a seat, we recommend arriving around 19:00.

  • The Gala Awards dinner will be taking place in Poolen, the same location as the Congress.
