The Obeya Summit
The Obeya Summit is the premier global 2-day event on 25 and 26 June 2026 dedicated to the Obeya methodology - a visual workspace and leadership approach designed to align organizational strategy with daily execution.
This editions' theme is 'Where Humanity meets Performance'. The 2026 Summit focuses explicitly on the question of how organizations achieve measurably better performance using Obeya. The Summit day program on 26 June at De Fabrique in Utrecht consists of more than twenty sessions, selected from over fifty international submissions via an extensive call for speakers.
Attendees connect, recharge and revitalize, before, during and after sessions at the Obeya Playground. Here our sponsors and partners are on the spot to share their valuable insights. If you are attending by invitation you will find your host here. At the playground you refuel with refreshments and discover visual inspiration that sparks new ideas and connections.
