📸 FOMO Munich: The FOMO Berlin Kiez Dinner Returns -13.12 | 18.11 - 24.11

In partnership with

Servus Munich! 👋

We’re bringing back the FOMO Berlin Kiez Dinner🧑‍🍳 (Christmas Edition). Hopefully, we can bring this soon to Munich as well.

After last year’s overwhelming response, we had to do it again. This time, we’re doubling down on what makes it special: staying in your own Kiez, opening your home, and connecting with new people in the most natural way possible, over food.

You and your dinner partner will host one course for two pairs, then walk just a few minutes through your neighborhood to visit two more homes for the next courses. Three homes. Three courses. Six people at each table. Endless potential: new friends, future collaborators, maybe even your next investor or co-founder.

To top it off, we’ll all come together at a secret location for a final gathering.A warm, neighborhood-based dinner adventure across the FOMO community. Are you in?

PS: For everyone who is on it's way to Slush, here an early Christmas Present: UNOFFICIAL - SLUSH 2025 Side Events Tracker - you are welcome & thanks PT1 😘

On another note, join our new FOMO WhatsApp Group: Cape Town ⛰.
