The scene right now

Berlin currently features 22 upcoming startup events, with an entirely in-person schedule and zero online sessions. Conferences form the core of the local calendar with 11 gatherings, followed closely by seven meetups. Founders will also find targeted formats distributed across the ecosystem, including a hackathon, a demo day, a mixer, and a general event. Seven of the upcoming sessions across the city are free to attend.

Recurring series

The calendar is primarily composed of one-off gatherings rather than extensive ongoing programs. The sole recurring series operating right now is Co-Working Fridays Berlin, which has two scheduled editions on the horizon. Founders looking to plug into a regular shared working routine can catch the next session taking place on October 30, 2026, followed by a second session set for the first week of November.

Who runs the events

A diverse mix of community groups and companies stage gatherings across Berlin. Circuit Event Calendar manages the highest count with three upcoming sessions. Superteam Germany, AI Builders, and media organization Software & Support Media GmbH each host two events. Individual events are also organized by Codex Community Events, Informa Group PLC, Virtimo AG, and Unicon, presenting founders with choices ranging from media-led productions to peer communities.

Busiest months

Activity peaks in late autumn across the capital before slowing into the winter months. November 2026 is the busiest period by a wide margin, scheduling 12 separate events. October 2026 hosts seven gatherings, while December 2026 drops sharply to just a single event. Further out on the calendar, June 2027 shows two forward-planned gatherings, leaving the immediate weeks of November as the focal point for networking.
