The Global Summit is the Sandbox flagship event, a unique, co-created gathering that has something for everyone: where inspiring and talented humans come together to share their perspectives and experiences and learn from one another.
Each summit happens in different (rotating) continent.
In 2025, the summit will take place in Portugal from June 1 - 6. Here's more info on that.
The summit team is completely self-formed and that’s another awesome way to get involved in the community. If you want to join the team of Summit 2026 organizers, email the board to board@sandbox.is
Previous Summits
On March 25, 165 boxies and guests gathered at Hola Beach in Vietnam for the six-day 2024 Global Sandbox Summit. The Summit prioritized financial accessibility, diversity, inclusion, and local integration, offering travel stipends and ticket grants to participants from regions like Taiwan, South Africa, and Brazil. It celebrated identities through activities such as a drag show, genre-diverse music, and introvert-friendly spaces. Local talent and perspectives were highlighted through discussions, ceremonies, and a pre-Summit day, with around 10% of attendees of local heritage. Unplanned moments like karaoke, fashion shows, and gratitude installations added a magical spontaneity to the experience.
In 2022 the Summit took place in Las Estacas, Mexico and gathered almost 250 members. It was our first global event after the pandemic, so it was extremely important for the community to reconnect. The Summit is a space for playfulness, co-creation, new visions, going deep and so much more! The current Board of Directors and Governance Council team was formed during the Global Summit.
