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!
PIRATE CIRCLE
Right after Pirate Summit, The Pirate Circle Founders Retreat will be an exclusive Event.
We want to get deeper into the topics that are worrying founders and provide a space to talk and exchange.
Details will come soon! Please note, that the Pirate Circle Founders Retreat, is not part of the regular Pirate Summit.
” it was truly incredible to see so many women on stage, competition was exciting. It was also one of the funnest events I have ever participated in, really unconventional and easy going as most should be. “
