Gear up and get ready for Europe’s biggest professional networking event! This year, it has gone virtual. Bits & Pretzels returns in 2020 to bring working professionals together from the start-up scene.

Virtual networking

This year, Bits & Pretzels returns, in a virtual sense, to once again bring budding entrepreneurs together with start-up founders and business gurus from all over the world. Bits & Pretzels will utilise their virtual event software to provide an intimate and interactive online environment for attendees.

Over 6 days, you can look forward to high-speed briefings, 1-on-1 interviews with businessmen, creators and athletes, and interactive sessions with global leaders. A “table” feature will be implemented during the event, whereby industry professionals and experts will be able to host an online “table” that can be joined by ten other participants. This feature allows for close interaction with founders of international companies, investors, journalists or industry representatives, giving you the chance to make contacts and gain from the experience of experts.

Bitz & Pretzels has hosted some well-known speakers in the past: notably, Richard Branson, Jessica Alba, Philipp Lahm and Barack Obama. This year’s impressive roster includes the likes of Jochen Engert, Founder and CEO of FlixMobility, Gillian Tans, Chairperson of Booking.com and Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO and co-founder of Klarna.
