BESTIVAL, Berlin’s annual festival for the MICE and tourism industry is returning to the German capital this summer.

Taking place on 25-26 August 2022, BESTIVAL 2022 offers tourism experts, event planners and travel trade media from Germany and Europe the opportunity to learn about and experience what Berlin has to offer through an exciting conference programme, various tours through the city and a wide range of opportunities to talk to Berlin suppliers.

From “Wild Berlin” to “Berlin Glamour & Lifestyle” and “Art & Music Berlin”, a total of five themes will present the city’s many facets. There will be special presentations, live acts, and podium discussions for each topic. The schedule is also supplemented with site inspections and networking opportunities.

BESTIVAL will be organised as pilot project in a newly founded “Berlin Meeting Campus” and will take place in several venues including Kino International, CAFE MOSKAU and Arena Badeschiff.

Sustainability will be at the forefront of this year’s event, with the entire conception, organisation, and execution of the BESTIVAL is based on the criteria of the Sustainable Meetings Berlin programme, as well as the ISO 20121-based Sustainability Strategy.

BESTIVAL took place for the first time on 4-5 November 2021. Last year, more than 300 experts from the MICE and tourism industry came to Motorwerk in Berlin for the premiere of the Business Festival.
