Aarhus SMIL

Hosted by startup aarhus

MAY 22, 2025

SMIL isn’t your typical startup conference - it’s all about the right connections!
On May 22nd, 2025, a colorful corner of Aarhus becomes a playground for founders, investors, and startup-curious folks. We’re ditching the one-size-fits-all event for a lot of smaller, curated fun hangouts. It’s the perfect chance to meet your next investor, co-founder, or friend.
Trust us, you will not want to miss this!

TICKETS FOR SMIL 2025

SMIL is happening for the first time ever—and you’ve got the chance to be part of it. If you want in, now’s the time.

But heads up: SMIL is curated. That means you need to pick the ticket that actually fits who you are. Wrong ticket? We’ll retract it. Sold-out category? Grabbing another won’t get you in.

But with that said – Honestly? We’re freaking out (in the best way). Grab your ticket. Be part of the first SMIL!

dinner is on us

And you won’t be eating alone. We’re setting up dinner groups so you can meet a few new faces, share a meal, and slow down for a bit. Good food, good people – simple as that.
