The start of the year is the perfect opportunity to strengthen team spirit, formulate goals and set a motto for 2026. Especially after an often stressful December, a conscious new start is good: get out of the daily grind and into an atmosphere that gives you energy.
Our three locations in Berlin offer just the right setting for this - stylish, central and versatile.
Experience shows that everything comes thick and fast in December: annual financial statements, customer appointments, Christmas business, deadlines - and the holidays on top of that. This leaves little room for exchange, strategy or team discussions.
January, on the other hand, opens the doors: everyone slows down a little, is open to new perspectives and motivated for what is to come.
A start to the year creates:
A good start to the year is like a new start together - clear, positive and with an internal impact.
Whether it's a small team meeting or a large annual kick-off event, we offer formats that energize and create structure at the same time.
A joint kick-off with focus: formulate goals, provide an outlook, present the annual motto. Ideal for teams who want to start 2026 in a conscious and structured way.
A stylish setting for customers, partners or your own team - light, high-quality and prestigious. Perfect for agencies and companies to strengthen relationships and open the new year in a good atmosphere.
A calm, inspiring setting for priorities, processes and goals. This creates clarity - whether for departments, management teams or the entire company.
When everyone is in year-end mode in December, January is the better time for real encounters. A format that connects teams - without stress, but with fresh energy.
Get out of the office and into a new environment. Perfect for new ideas, moderation formats, breakouts or sessions that promote creativity and exchange.
Motivation meets structure: keynotes, presentations, speakers, breakouts. For sales and marketing teams who want to start the year with energy and clear goals.
What exactly is the start of the year?
In short: your joint kick-off to the new year. A moment to formulate goals, set a motto for the year and look ahead. Away from the office routine, into an atmosphere that releases energy and brings teams together again. An annual kick-off event creates clarity - and a good feeling for everything that 2026 will bring.
Why is such an annual kick-off event really worthwhile?
Because December is usually completely overcrowded at many companies: everyone is stressed, projects are pressing and there is hardly any room for real conversations between Christmas parties and the end of the year. In January, on the other hand, everyone is fresh again - and much more receptive. A deliberate start to the year ensures that direction, motivation and team spirit are right from the outset.
Which ideas work particularly well?
Anything that combines exchange, energy and focus: Kick-offs, workshops, team meetings, off-sites, a New Year's brunch or a small conference with presentations and breakouts. Many companies combine different formats - for example, a team meeting in the morning, a workshop in the afternoon and a joint dinner in the evening. We would be happy to advise you on suitable content and activities.
How big should an annual kick-off event be?
That depends on your goals. Some companies plan small workshops with 10-20 team members, others organize large kick-offs or sales conferences with over 200 guests. Our three Berlin locations offer you every possibility - from a small meeting scenario to a large conference with a flying dinner.
How does the preparation work?
It's very straightforward: you tell us what you have in mind - we build the right setup around it. Agenda, rooms, furniture, catering, technology - we take care of it. We think along with you, ask questions, make suggestions and ensure that the day runs smoothly. And if it needs to be more extensive, our in-house event agency will be happy to support you.
What costs should I expect?
It all depends on the format. Number of people, catering, duration, type of event - it all plays a role. But you will always receive a clear, transparent offer from us. Without hidden items, without surprises.
How much lead time do you need?
January and February are popular months for team and strategy days. We recommend making an inquiry at least 4-6 weeks in advance, or earlier for larger events. However, short-term dates are possible - we will be happy to check availability for you.
Why is Berlin a particularly good place to kick off the year?
Berlin inspires - and is easily accessible. Many companies combine their annual kick-off event with a short offsite or an evening together. Our three venues are all centrally located and are so flexible that almost any format works: Focus sessions, workshops, networking, dinners, you name it.
How can I make a request?
Simply use our contact form, send us an e-mail or call us. We'll get back to you quickly and clarify everything else. It's uncomplicated. And if it's urgent: we'll find a solution for that too.
