BESTIVAL Masterclass 2024

The Sustainability Movement in Berlin is gaining momentum. We take our SUSTAINABILITY Masterclass on a green journey through Berlin's event industry and present refreshingly creative and constantly flourishing side of our city. We will introduce you to exceptional venues and competent service providers that are certified according to international sustainability standards and who are our loyal partners in leading the way towards a zero-waste industry.  

With the colorful program, we inspire and empower our participants to hold events that have a long-term positive impact on the city and its guests - with contacts, resources, ideas and a ready-to-use toolkit. 

How can communities grow out of networks and how can not only their members but also other stakeholders benefit from exchanges with each other? In the COMMUNITY Masterclass, we deal with precisely this question and offer the space for exciting experiments and self-efficacy experiences with local communities that only exist here in Berlin! Participants will explore recipes for success of our local best practices, learn how networks with a shared vision for our city can constantly develop through joint projects and collaborative initiatives, and what it takes to make event participants part of this community as well. 

How can congress formats be innovated in order to improve the individual event experience of participants in the lead up to, and beyond the event? We explore this question in the INNOVATION Masterclass. Through site visits and discussions with representatives of renowned experts, participants will gain insights into the broad and diverse range of event service providers and their development in the city of Berlin. Through the exchange of experiences, they acquire important transfer knowledge for the conception of innovative event formats. The three-days program offers a variety of opportunities for constructive exchange and critical reflection, and allows participants to test themselves.
