🍽️ FOMO Berlin: 50-person seated dinner together with Business Punk | 23.09 - 29.09

Hi Berliners!

Big ups to everyone who crushed the marathon this weekend 🏃‍♀️🔥. Our week was more like fast sprint: three FOMO events, moderating the NLND Launch, bringing Mayor Kai Wegner on stage, and interviewing Veronika F. Rost. Zero chill, only momentum.

And no pause in sight—this Wednesday it’s FOMO Berlin x Business Punk Aperitivo: 50 seats, one long table, conversations that don’t stop. Friday, we flip into art mode, supporting the TRUE FACES Vernissage.

Plus, we’re hyped to be media partners of the Business Creator Summit (Oct 7), hosted by Diana zur Löwen & Sarah Emmereich. Use code FOMO100 for €100 off—limited spots, so move quickly.
