Hey FOMO Munich,

We did it again: our annual SuperReturn & SuperVenture side-event cheatlist is live — featuring 50+ handpicked events across Berlin.

Want even more insider events, founder dinners, rooftop mixers, and “how-is-everyone-here?” gatherings?

Here’s a quick teaser of what’s on the list (and where we’re involved): a Prince Charles takeover, a 150+ person Super Aperitivo in a gallery, BAD1 Conference, 5+ LP dinners, and much more. If I were you, I wouldn’t miss this one 😎

Comment on the LinkedIn post + tag a friend who still hasn’t subscribed to FOMO Berlin, and we’ll DM you the full cheatlist. → Comment here
