Event Summary

Berlin 2023 Berlin’s quirky charm infused our show with its unique energy. The eclectic cast of characters on stage brought individuality to the forefront. Held at the iconic Babylon Cinema in the heart of the city, this Way Up North event was a memorable experience that blended Berlin’s vibrant atmosphere with our signature show.

Event Theme

ZAG

When everyone was zigging, what was your zag? The theme for Berlin was ZAG, inspired by Marty Neimeier’s book of the same title. Each presenter’s task was to interpret zag and answer the question, ‘What’s your zag?’ which connected with points of differentiation in their journey.

    May 5 + 6
    Inspired. Connected. Now what? It’s Monday morning and the real work begins. For ten years we’ve celebrated the beautiful stuff—the creative breakthroughs, the stunning portfolios, the moments that make you fall in love with this industry. But we’ve never dedicated an entire event to what actually makes it all possible: the unsexy stuff. The spreadsheets. The systems. The difficult conversations. The repetitive tasks that don’t get likes but build businesses that last. This year, our presenters strip away the highlight reel and show you the meat and potatoes—the boring, essential work that bridges inspiration and sustainability. It’s not glamorous. But it’s real. And it’s the answer to “now what?”
