How it all started
The first EMAG was in 2008, in Cologne, Germany, and for some days Cologne was declared by the media as being "the most intelligent city in Europe".
The goal in creating EMAG was to implement a conference where people with a high IQ can enthusiastically learn at their own speed. For many intelligent people learning is fun, but regular conferences may not deliver the information fast enough. Therefore, EMAG offers lectures and workshops on diverse topics at a pace more suited to their quick minds.
Outdoor and evening activities can be chosen as well.
The story continues
This now yearly multiday event takes place at the end of July or in early August.
Many other countries successfully hosted an EMAG. After Cologne, DE (2008) came Utrecht, NL (2009), Prague, CZ (2010), Paris, FR (2011), Stockholm, SE (2012), Bratislava, SK (2013), Zürich, CH (2014), Berlin, DE (2015), Krakow, PL (2016), Barcelona, ES (2017), Belgrade, RS (2018) and Ghent, BE (2019). Brno, CZ, was the 13th EMAG conference city in 2021, postponed from 2020 due to global COVID pandemic, Strasbourg, FR (2022).
The future of EMAG
In 2023, EMAG will move to the Netherlands, Rotterdam - Aug 02 - Aug 06 2023
Looking forward to ...
The most splashing EMAG ever!
