FOMO Berlin: October 16 - October 22

Hi, Berliners 👋

Time is really flying at the moment, and I can’t believe we are already in mid-October 😳 Summer really flew by! But don't worry, every week continues to be packed with fantastic events, so I guess it’s not too bad.

The fall is upon us, and it’s definitely noticeable 🥶 So we’re moving indoors! This doesn't mean a shortage of exciting events. Berlin is still buzzing with cool happenings, and I must admit that being in New York at the moment has given me some serious FOMO just looking at this list!

I hope you all get out there and enjoy these fantastic events for me, while I enjoy the amazing NYC Tech Week 🔥
