WalK THE PLank

Our own pitch competition is back as well!

THE BURN

After an exciting day full of inspiration, learning, and networking, you’ll be part of an extraordinary ritual:An 8-meter tall wooden sculpture – based on an old Cologne Carnival tradition called “Nubbelverbrennung” – will be lit on fire for one last time. 

Grab a bottle of rum, rethink this last decade, and celebrate with us of all the moments, the friendships, and the magic that we’ve shared.

May this Last Burn inspire and energize you for everything yet to come!
