Dates

  • 30 June - 1 July 2026 (registration deadline: 29 May)

The programme starts around 1 p.m. and ends at 1 p.m. the following day. Accommodation is included. 

Location
The 24-hour sessions take place in an inspiring and green location around Amsterdam.

Time investment
The break-out lasts 24 hours (including a good night's sleep, of course). Please note: it is important to prepare in advance of the break-out so that you and your team can get the most out of these hours. You will receive this preparation two weeks before the break-out and it will take approximately 4 hours to complete. 

Study load 
28 hours 

Language 
This programme is offered in two languages (Dutch & English). The accompanying learning materials are also available in both languages.

When participating in this programme, we charge a € 135 registration fee. We advise you to talk with your manager about a possible reimbursement of the registration fee. You can check on this page if you are eligible for reimbursement.

Would you like to participate in the break-out session as an external participant? Please note that there are two places available for external participants.

In that case, we will send you a message as soon as a place becomes available.
