🧑‍🍳 FOMO Berlin: We’re teaming up with Coffee Circle for the Coffee Rave of the Year - 29.11 | 25.11 - 1.12

Weekly newsletter keeping you up to date on the coolest events for tech & culture in Berlin

Hi Berliners — and welcome back to everyone returning from Slush!

Tell me, where was it colder: Berlin or Helsinki? ❄️ I’m sure Slush kept you warm enough. 😉 Back home, Black Friday is in full swing, and Christmas events are starting to appear.

And because we never keep things simple, we’re hosting two Christmas events this year: 1 ) One is a special Secret Santa Night with female-led B2C brands. If you’d like your products in the hands of 100+ great people, DM us on Instagram. 2) Otherwise, join our  FOMO Kiez Dinner (Christmas Edition) in two weeks, on the 13th. Dez. Our biggest one yet. We can’t wait.

On another note, join our new FOMO WhatsApp Group: Cape Town ⛰.

And if you’re the type who likes an unfair advantage, plan your event schedule smarter with FOMO Berlin Insider.

🚨 Upcoming Top FOMO Events:

  • Nov. 29, Saturday: FOMO Berlin x Coffee Circle - Morning Coffee Rave🎶 | 9 AM – 1 PM: We’ve already crossed 300 signups and are thrilled to have Joseph playing, whose tracks run at Tomorrowland and other big festivals. As we move into Christmas time, we’re shifting from business events to warm community gatherings.

  • Dec 13, Saturday: FOMO Berlin’s Kiez Dinner  | 5:30 PM: We’re inviting the FOMO community to a cozy three-course dinner across three homes in your Kiez.
