DC Black Barcelona
DC Black Barcelona, A Premier European Event
This July, we’ll hang in one of our favorite cities with 35 DC BLACK members.
The DC has a long relationship with Barcelona; in fact, our first event there was in 2015. Ten years after throwing our first event there, we’re excited to return for the summer DC BLACK event.
Last year was our first DC BLACK Barcelona. The focus was to show off the best of Barcelona and meet with members. We traveled around the city, were guided by locals, toured vineyards, and went bike riding.
This event will still maintain the magic of Barcelona but will include alterations to maximize the value of time spent together.
Here’s what’s new for Barcelona 2025:
Focus on a Central Location (no transportation!)
Most of the activities will take place in and around Hotel 1898 (our venue). This will cut travel time and gives us more reason to stay in the same hotel.Business Value During the Day
One of the main reasons for coming to a DCB event is to get new ideas and feedback from peers. This will happen through masterminds and facilitated discussions. We’re also exploring presentations and special guests.Group Bonding Activities at Night
Electric shuffleboard in NYC, competitive cooking classes in Phuket, caricature artists in Barcelona, conversation starters at the parties - these experiences created connections and memories between the attendees, and we’ll do something similar at this event.Siestas
Don’t worry; we’ll maximize our time together, but there’s rest time built into each day. Chill by the venue’s rooftop pool, review your notes from the group discussions, or take a walk around the neighborhood with other members.Better Food (More Protein!)
High-level connections require high-quality food, and we’re bringing that to the table (no pun intended). This change was implemented at DC BLACK New York and Phuket, and the attendees were thrilled.
These updates are based on your feedback and have been included in previous DC BLACK events. This is our fifth DC Black event, and we believe we’ve found a great formula to maximize your business value and connections.
Why Attend a DC BLACK Event?
DC BLACK members love spending time together! The numbers speak for themselves:
92% of members attended an in-person event last year.
The value of being in a room full of entrepreneurs like yourself, who are focused on helping you succeed, can't be overstated. You can expect great people, high-level conversations, and meaningful connections at DC BLACK Barcelona. Come with your biggest business challenges…. And leave with potential ways forward and important relationships.
The Hotel and Main Venue: Hotel 1898
We’ve chosen a venue that allows us to maximize our time together. It can host most of the event functions, is centrally located, and fairly priced. The hotel has great facilities and delivers high quality for the cost. The hotel not only has more amenities than the hotel we were at last year, but it is 100€ less per night.
The hotel will be our central hub during the event and where most of the event functions will take place. We’ll still get out and explore the city, but we’re excited to be at a venue that will eliminate the need for transportation and is a comfortable place for us all to stay.
Hotel 1898 offers top-notch amenities, including a rooftop terrace, pool, spa, fitness room, restaurants and bars, and delicious breakfast.
The hotel will not only be a great event host but also a fun place for us all to hang out throughout the event. Imagine enjoying coffee together before starting the day, heading to the rooftop pool during the siesta, or meeting the attendees at the lobby bar for a nightcap.
Booking your room: You’ll receive instructions on how to book after securing a spot. There are also instructions at the bottom of this post.
The event is capped at 35 spots. Our goal is to keep these events intimate. Past this size it gets difficult to meet everyone and spend meaningful time with each other.
