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.

To ensure a safe yet familiar experience for all our attendees, we chose to adopt the 2G+ regulation for the January edition of Bits & Pretzels 2022. According to this regulation you can attend the event either if you are fully vaccinated or have fully recovered from a COVID-19 infection within the last six months. You also need to present a negative test result. Check out more details on here.

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.
