📸 FOMO Munich: FOMO Berlin x Lexware: Padel & Dine event was one for the books | 21.10 - 27.10

In partnership with

Servus Munich! 👋

We did it again, this time with Lexware on our side. A day of and sweats, serves, and a long, stunning dining table, our first-ever Padel & Dine.

We kicked things off with a beginner workshop, turned up the heat with a friendly tournament, and ended the night dining right on the padel court, surrounded by some of 50 of Berlin’s sharpest builders, founders, and business owners.

Feeling the FOMO already? [See the photos here] — and if you like what you see, drop a like for the next one.
