Since the beginning, Bits & Pretzels has been about the power of community. After more than a year of virtual events, we believe that our physical festival is the perfect occasion to reunite founders, investors and startup enthusiasts.

The Bits & Pretzels Festival will be held physically at the ICM Munich on 20 - 21 January 2022.

Traditionally, Bits & Pretzels is the only major startup event that limits its number of attendees. We focus on quality over size. This stays the same in 2022 where we will have a maximum of 5,000 attendees at our festival.

The safety of all attendees and speakers is our first priority. We will introduce a range of new safety measures so that you can have every confidence that we are taking all reasonable precautions to keep you safe. We will strictly follow the rules that will be set out by the authorities in January 2022 . This allows you get on with the most important thing: gaining access to the connections, conversations, and ideas that will transform not just your business but the whole startup ecosystem.

Yes! For the first time, there will be two editions of Bits & Pretzels in one year. On top of our great comeback on 20 - 21 January 2022, we will host our Bits & Pretzels festival at the the ICM and the Oktoberfest on 25 - 27 September 2022.

No, there won’t be any edition of Bits & Pretzels in 2021 – neither virtual nor physical. We are convinced that January 2022 will be the perfect time to reunite with the community we missed so much.
