Table Captains

Table Captains 2017

Oktoberfest + Table Captains + Networking = the best way to finish the festival

Bits & Pretzels wouldn’t be Bits & Pretzels without our Table Captains! On the third day, 150 tables at the traditional Oktoberfest will be hosted by handpicked experts. Starting in early September, you can choose your Table Captain from the list below. But keep in mind: first-come-first-serve (we will send you more information via email)!

Finishing the event with 5,000 fellow startup-enthusiasts at the Oktoberfest is nothing less than a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so make sure not to miss it!
