Frontline of Innovation: My Must-Attend Event Before Year-End

Frontline of Innovation remains a must-attend event for me as the year draws to a close. Despite a busy events calendar, I am looking forward to this evening in Mannheim.

A busy events calendar

Right now, it feels as though there are events every week!

The third quarter in particular is peak season: events, panels, dinners and masterclasses everywhere. On the one hand, it is wonderful because you meet so many interesting people. On the other, it can be quite draining when you also have to keep your day-to-day business running.

That is why I have decided to attend a few fewer events in the final stretch of the year.

Why Frontline of Innovation stands out

With one exception:
Frontline of Innovation in November, organised by outstanding event hosts Süleyman Acar and Matthias Storch! A good reason for me, as someone from Heidelberg, to head back to Mannheim. 😊 To me, they are both impressive entrepreneurs with an enormous network in Mannheim.

This event is a must for me.
Excellent speakers, interesting content and, above all, excellent participants!
And the concept is invitation-only, which genuinely surprised me for an event of this size and quality.

I am particularly looking forward to Karsten Kammholz as moderator. I hold him in high regard both professionally and personally.
It all takes place in Mannheim’s telecommunications tower, an extraordinary venue for an extraordinary format.

For me, it is one of the most important events in the final stretch of the year.

And hopefully I will finally be able to welcome Süle and Matthias to my Dinner im Schloss 🏰 next year! Then the Mannheim crowd will get to visit my own neighbourhood, Heidelberg. 😉

The wonderful Aline Moser is also in the photo in the original post. Without Aline, Dinner im Schloss 🏰 would not be where it is today. 🫶
