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.
GET IN TOUCH
Experience has shown that everything tends to be concentrated in December - there is little room for exchange, strategy or team discussions.
January, on the other hand, opens the doors - everyone slows down a little and is open to new perspectives.
A start to the year creates
- a clear focus for the new year
- a unifying feeling in the team - especially in the home office era
- space for feedback, goals and visions
- a fresh look at processes and priorities
- motivation, orientation and good cooperation
Whether it's a small team meeting or a large annual kick-off event, we have formats that energize and create structure at the same time. And we have a suitable venue for every event.
A kick-off is the ideal moment to consciously open up the year and align teams together. Our locations create spaces that allow focus and inspire at the same time - bright, open, stylish. Here, goals can be formulated, topics prioritized and the view of the new year clearly defined. Whether 20 or 200 employees: a kick-off meeting creates orientation, awakens energy and ensures that the entire team starts 2026 with a positive feeling and a clear agenda.
A New Year's brunch is probably the most elegant way to welcome in the New Year - light, stylish and full of good atmosphere. In our old building settings, such a format is particularly warm and inviting: large tables, soft daylight, uncomplicated conversations. Whether for customers, partners or your own team: a New Year's brunch creates closeness and space for exchange, without the pressure of a traditional conference. Ideal for strengthening relationships, setting new impulses and sharing the year's motto in a relaxed atmosphere. And yes: our in-house kitchen can do it - from fine to modern.
Strategic topics need peace, distance and an environment that invites you to think. Our locations are ideal for this: plenty of space, several breakouts, flexible setups. A strategy meeting at the beginning of the year helps to formulate goals, define priorities and develop broad outlines without getting lost in day-to-day operations. We create the right framework for you. This will give your company the focus it really needs at the start of the new year.
A team event in January is often a more relaxed, modern alternative to the traditional Christmas party. While December is a busy and hectic time for everyone, the new year offers space for genuine encounters. At our locations, teams encounter an atmosphere that brings people together: warm, open, and inspiring. Ideal for a review, a joint starting signal, or simply a good time together. Whether it's a bonding dinner or other elements with team activities, we design the get-together so that it seems easy, but at the same time has an impact.
Sometimes a change of location is enough to make new ideas possible. An offsite in our old building locations creates precisely this distance from everyday life - and thus space for creativity, new perspectives and open discussions. Whether a moderated workshop, design thinking session, annual motto development or team activity: with flexible furniture, breakout rooms and clear architecture, every day can be designed to suit your company. We make sure that everyone feels comfortable and motivated to think along.
A sales kick-off thrives on energy—and that's exactly what our rooms provide. Large halls, plenty of light, flexible seating, and areas for exchange and activation. Here, presentations, speakers, workshops, and team formats can be ideally combined. Whether it's annual figures, product launches, incentives, or motivation for the next steps: a sales conference in an inspiring atmosphere often has a greater impact than any internal meeting. We support you with technology, catering, and the right setup so that your team starts 2026 motivated and focused on its goals.
An annual conference is the big moment when your company sets the tone for the new year. Our spacious event areas are ideal for hosting more complex programs: keynotes on stage, panels with speakers, work phases in breakouts, or moderated sessions in changing setups. With professional support, high-quality technology, and an atmosphere that is both calm and inspiring, your annual conference will be a focused, motivating starting point for all team members—from the first welcome to the last conversation.
The best conversations often happen after the agenda - exactly when a change of location slows everything down. With Stay & Connect, your team simply stays together: no searching for free tables, no drifting apart, no interruptions. In the same atmosphere, the day moves seamlessly from the productive part to a relaxed conclusion. Our kitchen team serves modern snacks or a stylish dinner while the conversation continues naturally. This will make your annual kick-off a well-rounded, unifying and pleasantly uncomplicated experience. Book directly.
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.
