Ilya Kneppelhout, 27 years old, is the co-founder of The Offline Club, a pioneering venture that provides a face-to-face refuge from the omnipresent digital world. Within a year, the Amsterdam-based Club ignited a global movement, growing from 0 to 500 thousand followers on Instagram and creating phone-free spaces and communities in 7 countries.
Driven by a passion for social entrepreneurship, Ilya sees innovation as a force for good—using business not just to create impact, but to spark meaningful change in how we connect and engage with the world. His background as a high-level tennis player in the United States instilled in him the ambition to dream big and the resilience to push boundaries, fueling his mission to drive real cultural, societal, and behavioral shifts in an increasingly digital age.
