Bits & Pretzels: The Founders Festival in Munich, September 27 – 29, 2015, International Congress Center Munich / Oktoberfest
Bits & Pretzels is a 3-day event for founders, startup enthusiasts, investors and business incubators. The festival will take place from September 27 – 29, 2015 in Munich. The best-known entrepreneurs from around the world as well as young aspiring entrepreneurs will meet at the event to mingle with like-minded people.
Bits & Pretzels was considered to be the largest founders breakfast in the world and already took place at the “Löwenbräukeller“ in Munich twice. The first edition of the event in September 2014 already exceeded the organizer’s expectations. Approximately 1,400 representatives of the startup eco-system participated in the founders conference. In January 2015, there were even 1,700 participants Next September the Bits & Pretzels event will be even bigger. The organizers Andreas Bruckschloegl, Bernd Storm van‘s Gravensande and Felix Haas have set new standards with the festival and developed an unprecedented event concept.
The Bavarian State Minister for Economic Affairs and Media, Energy and Technology and Deputy
Prime Minister Ilse Aigner operates as a patron and supporter of the events.
On the first two days of the event, September 27 and 28, the participants will get important insights and tips for building a successful startup and get inspired by visions of the future. Due to the extraordinary growth of our audience to 3,600 participants, Bits & Pretzels is moving to the International Congress Center Munich for these two event days.
On the third day of the festival, September 29, the participants will get the chance to network at the largest festival in the world. In order to bring tradition and innovation together, this day’s event will take place in the famous “Schottenhamel“ tent at the Oktoberfest. To ensure exciting conversations for all participants, more than 300 tables at the Oktoberfest will be hosted by a Table Captain – a wellknown, successful internet expert (CEO, CTO, investor, professor, editor-in chief etc.) who will be happy to share his or her experience.
According to the “first-come-first-serve“-principle, participants can choose a Table Captain with whom they would like to sit on a table in advance. The goal of this new networking concept is to bring participants
even closer together. The first 150 Table Captains already confirmed.
