About

Slush is a community-focused organizer operating primarily out of Helsinki. Their work spans general sector-agnostic initiatives alongside dedicated focus areas in artificial intelligence and machine learning, hardware, and deep tech. Since holding their first event in 2025, they have anchored their activities around large-scale gatherings that support innovation across these specialized technical disciplines.

What they run

The organization has run eight events in total, consisting of seven conferences and one summit, with six hosted in Helsinki. Their calendar features the recurring Slush series, which counts three editions. Upcoming programming includes Investor Day in November 2026, alongside multiple major conference gatherings for Slush 2026 scheduled across consecutive dates in Helsinki that same month.

Who attends

The audience centers around startup founders, builders, and technologists working in AI, hardware, and deep tech, as well as participants from sector-agnostic ventures. Their summits and flagship conferences also attract investment professionals, as seen with dedicated gatherings like Investor Day, bringing together capital allocators and early-to-growth-stage operators looking to scale complex technical products.
