Info for those who come:
We can’t wait to have you with us at EAGxBerlin! To make the conference an even more enriching experience, we have some opportunities and offers for you:
Lightning talks are short, two-minute talks with one question from the audience. The lightning talks will be held on Saturday late afternoon/early evening. Please submit your Lightning Talk Proposal here. We will let speakers know on a rolling basis whether they have received a slot.
Project tables give you the chance to showcase your project even if it is still small or early-stage. It is a low-key way to share what you are working on and meet people who might want to get involved. If you would like to reserve a project table, please let us know using this form.
You are planning a side event? Please add it to the list “EAGxBerlin 2026 – unofficial side events” so that others can find out about the event, too. Events will be reviewed, which should not take longer than 3 days until November 1, and 1 day after that.
You will bring your child to the conference? Childcare will be provided on Saturday and Sunday from 10am-1pm followed by 2pm-6pm. You can send us an email via berlin@eaglobalx.org if you would like to take advantage of this offer or have any questions about it.

Testimonial
“This conference has been particularly meaningful to me personally: Last year, I attended EAGxBerlin 2024 as someone searching for a high-impact role. This year, I came back as a career advisor for Successif supporting other professionals through those same transitions. In fact, I opened my talk sharing that one year ago, I was in these very halls where I met my career advisor. It feels like coming full circle.”
– Moneer Moukaddem, 2025
