About Climb EMEA SKO 2026:
#ClimbHigher
After an incredible first EMEA SKO in 2025, we’re lacing up our boots and scaling even greater heights in 2026. The EMEA SKO returns for its second year – bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than ever. This one-day event is your basecamp for the year ahead, bringing together our Executive team, our Field and Inside Sales, Vendor Management, Alliances, Marketing, Operations, Finance, and our valued key vendor partners.
This year, we’re climbing higher. Through a mix of keynote sessions, interactive workshops, networking, some team fun and surprises along the way, we’ll align on strategic goals for 2026, and share the tools and techniques to conquer the year’s toughest peaks (Can you tell we’re leaning heavily into the mountain connotations this year!!).
Let’s Climb Together. Let’s #ClimbHigher.
About the Venue
It was so good in 2025, we’re heading back for 2026! Formerly the home of two nineteenth-century banks and showcasing period features, the Harbour Hotel Bristol is perfectly located to uncover a hive of activity along Bristol’s Corn Street, the city’s docks and the central hub.
The SKO will take place in their vast Sansovino Hall (with added team/division breakout rooms, new for 2026!), which will provide the perfect environment for creativity and inspiration to bloom. It may be the same venue, but we’ll be pulling out all the stops to make it a completely different experience for our team and sponsoring vendors.
