Optional visibility
If you’re up for it, we’ll record short snippets or a customer story — we align on messaging together and you review before anything goes live.
Who will be there
A curated group of ~8–12 customers and potential customers, plus the Aikido team. Small, focused, and worth your time. Dinner & drinks included.

Travel & where to stay.
Travel
We recommend Eurostar — flying is also a good (sometimes cheaper) option for some.
Hotels
There are many great options in Ghent — book whichever suits you best. Our personal favourite is Getaway Studios, a 5-minute walk from our office (also on Booking.com, Agoda, etc).
