Introduction Link to heading
In business, people work with people — and most collaborations start with an in-person conversation.
However, time is finite, and it’s not possible to regularly meet everyone.
That’s where we come in.
Our flagship event is Executive Evening.
In just four hours, participants meet up to 80 professionals from architecture, construction, real estate, and investment. They have the opportunity to present their work, and leave with valuable contacts.
At the event, participants enjoy the inclusive atmosphere that focuses on the mutual exchange of knowledge, experience, information, visions and ideas. In this atmosphere, everyone feels comfortable.
The evening is deliberately structured so that it doesn’t dissolve into noise: there are one-on-one icebreakers, pitch slots and small-group discussions grouped by domain and professional level of participants.
The focus is on building long-term relationships, not closing deals on the spot.
You are welcome to join us at one of our Business Evenings or Lunches!

Details about the programme

In the 1-on-1 icebreaker, each participant meets seven others in the first 30 minutes.
In the pitch presentation up to six participants present their work, company, experience, or idea. The pitch presentation lasts 4 minutes with presentation.
Elevator pitch is a 1 minute speech without a presentation. 15 slots are available.
In domain discussion you will be grouped (sitting at the same table) with people from the same domain. E.g. For example, if you are an architect, you will sit with other architects.
In the seniority level discussion, you will be grouped with people who have the same employment status and level of experience. For example, if you are a company owner, you will be grouped with other company owners.
Why the events are unique?
- Our events are small-format (short) and highly structured. Due to this random or noisy communication is minimal. We create a relaxed, yet focused and constructive atmosphere that encourages active communication of all participants.
- The focus is on opening and maintaining communication channels for the future rather than making immediate sales.
- The microphone is open to all participants.
- We build bridges between different domains, including architecture, civil engineering, real-estate and investment.
- We connect industry, startup and academia worlds.
- We support startup and early-career founders by introducing them with senior decision-makers.
- Participants may speak English or German, whichever they are more comfortable with.
Why participate?
- You will have the active opportunity to present your company, work, ideas, visions and projects to a large number of other professionals.
- Before the event, you will receive a participant gallery with the guests.
- You can have one-to-one conversations with all the guests at the event.
- You will take part in small-group discussions with guests from your domain.
- You will take part in small-group discussions with guests who have a similar level of experience or function.
