How to host a side event?

Side Events are your chance to connect your brand with the Bits & Pretzels attendees and the local tech community by hosting your own event.

Side Event registration management, event logistics/operations, event promotions and costs are all managed by you, the Side Event host. Bits & Pretzels provides marketing promotion of the Side Event to the festival attendees.

Here are some kind of events you could host:

Meetups

Gather a crowd of likeminded leaders around a topic you care about.

Open Office

You have an office in Munich? Open your doors and welcome guests.

Workshops

Attendees come to Bits & Pretzels to learn - offer your personal expertise and offer an extra round of learning.

Parties at Werksviertel

The official After Party will happen at Werksviertel at the evening of 29 Sept - this is your chance to rent out one of the many bars and restaurants.
