„The idea of Year of the X came to life with a mission to gather innovators and diverse thinkers who are willing to take risks in order to make an impact on the world. With core values such as diversity and intimacy, our small event turned into a new community where people from all kinds of backgrounds can share their knowledge and make new meaningful connections.“ says Markus von der Luehe, CEO & Founder of Year of the X.

„In 2018, the Innovation and Startup festival is going to be the Year of the Dog, which personifies strong community bonds, loyalty and protection. In a world run by technologies, people feel alienated more than ever and so the need of community is essential not just in personal lives, but in the workplace as well. According to Markus, this is the fourth edition, after the editions: Year of the Goat, Year of the Monkey, and Year of the Rooster, a really cool idea that matches perfectly with the out of the box thinkers organization team, lead by Markus.

The main topics on the festival are the future of the media and work, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, blockchain, Cyber Security, Mobility and last but not least, Mindfulness.

You get the opportunity too, to get in touch with the newest technical devices, where touching is allowed!
