Forward Festival for Creativity

What a ride! Our 2025 Berlin edition lit up the city with two days of pure creative energy. From the big stage moments at HKW to intimate workshops and buzzing side events, more than 50 international creative legends came together to share, inspire, and prove what happens when ideas don’t just stay in our heads but actually turn into action.

Three stages hosted bold talks, challenging perspectives, and practical insights, while countless networking moments sparked new collaborations and friendships. Berlin showed us once again why the creative community here is so special: open, daring, and always ready to push boundaries.
