How can I get invited to the events?
To get invited you need to be part of the community. You join when someone who is already in it invites you with one of their invite codes. Took part in Hatch Conference 2026 or Ateliers? Log in with the email you used there.
What if I can’t find an invite?
Apply to our application list. We use it to let in around 20 people each month, oldest applications first, so it can take a few months. Apply, and we email you your invite when it’s your turn.
Does joining the community guarantee me a place at the events?
No. Once you are in the community, you still need to get a ticket when they are released. Seats are limited and tickets are first come.
When do tickets open?
10 to 12 days before each evening: 12 days, or the Monday after if that falls on a weekend, at 10:00 Berlin time. We email everyone in the community at the same moment. Tickets are first come; when they run out, you can join the standby list.
Can I invite someone to join?
Yes. Once an evening is live and you have a ticket, you can bring someone as your plus one. They have 24 hours to accept and create a profile, otherwise their ticket goes to someone else. You also get invite codes to bring people into the community.
Are the events free to join?
Yes.
What happens once I get my ticket?
72 hours before the evening you get a second email asking you to confirm. You have 24 hours to re-confirm you’re coming, or your ticket goes to someone else.
What happens if an evening is full?
There’s a standby list: people who want to come and are waiting for others to give back their ticket or not confirm. When a seat frees up, it goes to the next person on standby.
Can I join every evening?
Not always. After 3 evenings in a row, your next request goes on the standby list so others get a chance to join. If a seat is still free once confirmations close, it’s yours.
What happens if I don’t make it?
Because seats are limited, we have a strict strike policy. Miss one evening without cancelling at least 12 hours before, and you can’t attend the next one. Miss two, and you won’t be allowed in the next 3. Coming to an evening clears your strikes.
I missed a deadline. Can you make an exception?
No. Every timeframe is final: a plus-one seat not accepted within 24 hours, a confirmation not answered within 24 hours, a ticket not cancelled 12 hours before. Once it has passed, the seat has already gone to someone else, and we can’t give it back or extend it, whatever the reason. The emails tell you each deadline; it helps to add them to your calendar.
