Meet policymakers, researchers, and destinations from across Europe at the WadNext Conference on Ameland. Learn about sustainable tourism and innovation in the Wadden Sea.
Sustainable Tourism in the Wadden Sea
The WadNext Conference, from September 7 to 10, 2026, on Ameland, will bring together policymakers, destinations, and researchers from across Europe. Not in an anonymous conference hall, but in a place where both the challenges and the solutions are tangible: the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea. On Ameland, where for over a century we have been searching for a balance between visitors, residents, and nature, we will share knowledge, accelerate strategies, and together build tourism with a future.
Why you shouldn’t miss this event:
- Meet policymakers, DMOs, research institutions and entrepreneurs from across Europe.
- Become part of a growing European network of sustainable destinations.
- Learn from practical examples from the Wadden area and other regions.
- Contribute your own expertise and gain inspiration that you can apply immediately.
- Join others to accelerate the shift to future-proof tourism.
The conference is aimed at policymakers from governments and destinations, DMOs, educational and research institutions, and other organisations connected to the hospitality and tourism sector from across Europe.
