From humble beginnings come great things! THU was born from a simple idea: bring the world’s brightest creative talent to a place with a sense of belonging, while also promoting Portugal's talents to the wider world.

The First Battle
We took THU to a new level in 2014. The Tribe was born and THU became much more than ‘just’ an event. During these few days in September, Tróia became a true home to our wonderful, talented, and global family.

The Beginning of the End
2015 was an emotional year. On one hand we launched THU TV, on the other we struggled to gain recognition and support. When we were about to give up, Lenovo came to the rescue.

The Tribe Returns
The THU team grew in 2016, and so did the Tribe. The Tribe’s different approach to the industry began setting a new standard for these kind of events and changing the scenario for the future of Digital Arts.

Tales of Unknown
2018 is the year THU moved to Malta. It was all about getting out of our comfort zone. THU and the Tribe set sail on a journey of (self-) exploration, of new possibilities and discoveries. THU found a new home.
