Decelerator 2026: From Storm to Calm
A’Pelago is hosting the first Decelerator event, aimed at busy, stressed, and high-paced entrepreneurs and experts – in other words, everyone.
The goal of the event is to provide a balance alongside growth seminars, accelerators, funding rounds, and business kick-offs – a place where you can learn, network, and find inspiration in a calmer, more reflective environment. The diverse program offers new experiences and ideas for all participants.
Here, business talk takes a back seat – here, peace is found.
Here, we don’t just sit still – here, we take action.
Here, it’s not all about being loud – here, silence has its place too.
Here, the sea makes an impact – this is blue wellbeing.

Evening program
We will enjoy dinner together at Herrankukkaro, after which the group will have access to the traditional smoke sauna. During the sauna experience, those who wish can also relax in warm outdoor tubs and pools with both fresh and seawater, and take a refreshing dip in the sea. Sauna Talk creates a relaxed atmosphere for open conversations and reflection.
Event objectives
- Slow down and step off the hamster wheel
- Find connection to yourself and your own way of acting
- Better mind > better person > better leader
- A possibility to share, reflect, and learn from each other’s experiences
- The opportunity to do exactly what feels right in the moment and follow what you need
This lays the foundation for the thematic events in 2026.
Why Decelerator?
Because you are your organization’s most important resource.
Because calm can follow the storm.
Because wellbeing is not a luxury — it is resilience.
Join us to pause and reflect.
