«Where can I go in Berlin where founders can meet designers, product people or just get inspired?» – after getting this question again today, I decided to gather a quick list of my favourite upcoming events in Berlin and Berlin-like cities closeby (kind of). Here’s some events not to miss this spring:

Feb 28: Überstunde Berlin

Überstunde (German: Overtime) is an after work event for startup people with a low-key West Berlin vibe to it. If you want to meet interesting people, have a drink and some snacks, Überstunde might be THE networking event for you.

Mar 4: Berlin Product Designers Meetup

This edition of Product Designers Meetup features an industry veteran: Smashing Magazine founder Vitaly Friedman talks about designing search interfaces – make sure to get your tickets on time!

Mar 12: OutGeek Women x Berlin

Celebrate International Women’s Day with female industry talents from Berlin. Hosted by Blacklane, you have the chance to meet amazing designers, developers or data scientists.

Mar 14: Type Thursday

For type lovers and letter nerds, Type Thursday is kind of the heir of the world-famous «TYPO» conference, which was discontiued in 2018. While you can just enjoy the evening and listen to a couple of interesting talks, there’s also a slot to present your own projects at Type Thursday.

Mar 20/21: UX Copenhagen

Not quite Berlin, UX Copenhagen is probably one the most future-forward industry events, branding itsself as Human Experience conference. The mix of international and local speakers makes worth attending not only for scandinavian designers.

Apr 4-6: OFFF Barcelona

Probably one of my favourite design events in the whole world returns in April. OFFF is not only a great, affordable and inspiring event in the heart of Barcelona, but also a laid-back gathering, where you randomly bump into design legends like Erik Spiekermann or David Carson.
