SINTRA SYNERGIES:
The Pre-Web Summit Retreat for AI & Web3 Growth Leaders
Strategy, Visibility & Connections. Just Before Web Summit (Lisbon)
A focused retreat and mastermind for AI & Web3 founders and marketing leaders, designed to sharpen your strategy, grow your visibility, and build meaningful connections before Web Summit Lisbon.
Join us for 2.5 days in Sintra, Portugal 🇵🇹 where forests meet historic castles. It’s private, in-person time with peers who understand your challenges. Whether you're refining your positioning, preparing content, or looking for new growth opportunities, this is the space to reset, reconnect, and move forward with clarity.
📅 Retreat Dates: November 6–9, 2025 (Friday to Sunday, before Web Summit)
Who Is This For?
Sintra Synergies is designed for founders, marketing leaders, and strategists navigating the fast-changing worlds of AI, Web3, and emerging tech – who know that staying relevant requires more than just working harder.
You’ll feel at home if you’re:
- A founder or entrepreneur who moves fast, but knows that growth without clarity is noise.
- A CMO, brand strategist, or growth lead seeking space to think, sharpen your narrative, and reconnect with purpose.
- A builder, investor, or ecosystem leader who craves honest, high-trust conversations.
- A creative thinker or product mind who values deep insight, personal growth, and shared momentum.
Why Sintra Synergies?
Because relevance doesn’t come from more noise, it comes from deeper clarity. This isn’t a conference. It’s a curated retreat designed to help you zoom out, realign, and return stronger.
Here’s what makes it different:
✅ A Strategic Pause in a Place That Breathes: Step away from the screen and into a setting that invites perspective. Nature walks, ancient architecture and slow mornings in the Sintra hills set the rhythm for deeper thinking.
✅ A Circle That Gets It: These are people who understand what you’re building and why it matters. Expect thoughtful questions, shared hikes, and moments that go deeper than a LinkedIn exchange.
✅ Workshops That Stick: Learn directly from top-tier product minds like Roberto Machado and Alexander Yeremeev: strategy, product, visibility.
✅ From Trust-Building to Trust-Living: You’ll leave with renewed clarity on how to build trust, not just in your brand, but in your leadership, vision and voice.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters, with the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
