ORAM Next Gen Festival – The Future Is (Re)Shaping
The ORAM Next Gen Festival is evolving
After a high-energy edition in 2025, we’re preparing something new. In summer 2026, we’ll be back with a refreshed, international concept, in Dutch as well as in English, tailored to the next generation of professionals (ages 20–39) working in industry, logistics, tech, and beyond.
We’ve heard your feedback, 2025 was inspiring, but also intense. The 2026 edition will be sharper, more focused, and designed with even more space for connection and co-creation. Expect shorter sessions, more interaction, and a program built around what you really need: insight, inspiration, and impact.

Lessons learned, ambitions ahead
2025 taught us a lot. You told us it was too long, too packed, and at times too much to take in. We’ve listened.
That’s why ORAM Next Gen Festival 2026 will be:
- More focused
- More relaxed
- More interactive
- And with even more space for networking and serendipity
We’re aiming for a more professional, higher-impact edition – without losing the good vibes and openness that make this festival special.
