“Interested” saves it to your list and sharpens your recommendations. “Going” marks your spot and opens the organizer’s page so you can grab the actual ticket.
IdeaLab! is the student-run founders' conference of WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, held at the Stadt- und Kongresshalle in Vallendar on 25–26 September 2026 under the theme 'Ignite. Create. Shape what's next.' The two days mix keynote talks, hands-on workshops and startup pitch formats, with separate paths for founders, investors, students and professionals — founders pitch and meet investors, investors get curated meetings with pre-selected startups. Past speakers include Oliver Samwer, Verena Pausder and Raisin co-founder Tamaz Georgadze. Entry is by application rather than straight purchase, with ticket tiers running from student through investor.
