Host an event

By making your event a part of GEW Basel, your event gets more visibility in the local startup and entrepreneurship community. It’s a great way to share your ideas, meet new people, and be part of a global celebration of entrepreneurship. We help promote your event through our communication channels, including LinkedIn. Plus, as a GEW Basel event organizer, you'll be invited to our pre-week get-together. Join us and make your mark on the entrepreneurial scene in Basel!

Your event must take place between Monday, November 18, and Sunday, November 24, 2024. It should be relevant to entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs in the Basel region. We reserve the right not to publish your event as part of GEW if deemed necessary (though we haven't thought of a possible scenario, but just in case).

GEW scope is not intended to be a marketing platform for each individual's business activities, but to give exposure to a wide audience of entrepreneurs and supporters in the Basel region. It's an opportunity to share your expertise and learnings, connect with like-minded individuals, and be a part of a global movement celebrating entrepreneurship. Each event should be conceived with this objective and tailored to this type of audience.

We will promote the details of your event and post it on LinkedIn as part of GEW's communications campaign. At the start of your event, we will ask for a 3-minute slot for a member of the organising committee to introduce GEW Basel and the different organisers and ways to support the week. For face-to-face events, we will bring a beach flag to place at the entrance. For selected events, a videographer will be present to capture footage and interviews with participants to create a compelling video presentation of GEW 2024.

The events must be organized by the host, who choses time and location during the GEW Week and funds the event. GEW Team is not involved in the organization of any of the GEW events, while it offers visibility of each events on the official website of the GEW.

You can decide on the timing of your event yourself. However, we can support you in finding an optimal slot that doesn't overlap with similar events.

You can host your event online, in person, or a mix of both. If you need help finding a venue, we can assist you. If your event is online, please make sure to provide the platform link to all participants.

It’s up to you! You can decide whether you want people to register for your event or just let them show up. If you leave it open, just make sure the date, time, and location are clear in the event info we publish. If you do set up a registration process, you can use any tool you like (hint: a simple Google Form is enough if you're not familiar with event platfrom). Important GEW Basel does not manage registrations for you, but we will publish the link you provide. Please ask participants for their image consent. If you collect registrations in advance, include this in your form. If people come without registering, make sure to collect consent at the event itself.

Most events are free to ensure accessibility for all. However, you are welcome to charge participants a fee if needed.

In case you cannot organize your event due to operational or other reasons after it is published, please contact all participants who already signed up and contact GEW organizing team to remove the event from the advertisements.
