On August 12 to 15 2025, we will take 40 people to experience the magnificent chaos that is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We’ll take over a beautiful 18th-century castle outside Edinburgh with connections to Mary Queen of Scots, so that we have an oasis of calm to return to after each day’s cornucopia of performances. We’ll use our arts-media network to get tickets to shows that stimulate and intrigue, but we’ll also make time for spontaneity, for participants to find and drop into some of the off-beat, unique offerings that make the fringe so special. Our team has designed this adventure to balance the guided and critically filtered with the utterly unpredictable, so participants experience the festival at its best.

On February 27 to March 2 2025 (Thursday to Sunday), we’ll bring together 40 members of the VOYAGERS family for our fourth special weekend snow adventure in the Swiss Alps. This immersive three-night experience is designed to foster close friendships among VOYAGERS spanning a diverse range of industries and geographies – including startup founders, investors, researchers, activists, and more. The weekend includes a curated workshop and discussion programme featuring specialists from health tech, climate tech and other multidisciplinary fields. These sessions are designed to keep you ahead of emerging trends and opportunities while inspiring meaningful collaboration.

We’re running this weekend at cost, staying true to our mission of community building. Don’t miss this chance to connect deeply with like-minded VOYAGERS in an unforgettable Alpine setting.

On May 22 to 25 2025, we’ll bring our VOYAGERS health-tech community to Iceland for a special three-night learning and networking trip. We’re running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of health-related projects from many geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more. The weekend includes a workshop and discussion programme designed to keep you on top of key health-tech trends and opportunities. We asked participants on our last Iceland trip: “Overall, how would you rate the adventure on a scale from 0 [worst] to 10 [best]?” Their average score was 9.2 out of 10.

On June 5 to 8 2025, we’ll bring the VOYAGERS Climate-Tech community on a special three-night, four-day learning and networking trip in Galicia, northern Spain. We’re running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of industries and geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more. The weekend includes a workshop and discussion programme designed to keep you on top of key climate-tech trends and opportunities. We asked past participants in this adventure: “Overall, how would you rate the adventure on a scale from 0 [worst] to 10 [best]?” Their average score was 9.4 out of 10.

For the third year, we took 45 VOYAGERS to Portugal’s wine country on October 7 to 10 2023 for a three-day health-tech networking adventure. This adventure had feedback of 9.4 out of 10 in 2021. That’s because we carefully curate the agenda to connect VOYAGERS at a deep level – through activities ranging from river trekking to participating in the grape harvest and health-tech workshops.

On July 7 to 10 2022, VOYAGERS took 50 people working in health-tech on an Italian Palazzo Adventure. Based in a historic palace in Petritoli, Le Marche, we spent three intense days truffle-hunting, mountain-biking, snow hiking, pasta-making, wine-sampling, clock-tower climbing, Werewolf-playing, speakeasy-embracing, town-square dancing, opera-house performing, storytelling and generally building a warm friendship group.
