The Mother of all Events Event was a pleasant surprise with many new and keen faces amongst our regular members. From this we have now created a schedule of events for October and November as well as establishing some regular dates for specific types of event.
Events are mostly free for members, occasionally discounted. To become a member you can sign up here, our Member package also includes the ability to visit Open Design City 4 days per month and use the facilities between 9.00-18.00.

First of all the regular dates:
Every Monday Night is Open Night (AKA Baustelmontag), on some of these evenings we have also scheduled workshops in the space for members. These will happen in parallel within the space, members can attend these for free, non members will be asked to make a donation.
On the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, Enable Berlin will host their meet up. Tonights event promises to be something special.
