Together instead of side by side 6Bf

Ber­lin is dif­fe­rent – and so is its event industry.

While com­pe­ti­ti­on often takes cen­ter stage else­whe­re, here we belie­ve in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on: brin­ging tog­e­ther diver­se strengths, com­bi­ning exper­ti­se and crea­ting some­thing grea­ter as a team.

This idea spark­ed the initia­ti­ve “6 Best Fri­ends” over twel­ve years ago – a for­mat that doesn’t just talk about part­ner­ship, but makes it tangible.

In 2026, the six part­ners came tog­e­ther once again to do exact­ly that: crea­te good ener­gy, enable real encoun­ters and cele­bra­te what con­nects the industry.

Becau­se at the heart of our work lies some­thing that can­not be repla­ced – even in times of AI and advan­ced tech­no­lo­gy: per­so­nal interaction.

For this occa­si­on, AXICA ope­ned its doors digi­tal­ly at Café Mos­kau – from one archi­tec­tu­ral icon to ano­ther. Tog­e­ther with AMBION (tech­ni­cal pro­duc­tion), Rent​.Group (fur­ni­tu­re and tab­le­wa­re), Stil­ge­recht (decor and flo­ral design) and the Hof­lie­fe­ran­ten (cate­ring), an event took shape whe­re each part­ner con­tri­bu­ted their exper­ti­se to a shared experience.

The Hof­lie­fe­ran­ten added distinc­ti­ve culina­ry high­lights, while the other part­ners shaped the event through tech­no­lo­gy, design, equip­ment and guest management.

At its core, the evening was about what tru­ly defi­nes events: net­wor­king, exch­an­ge and shared experience.

“6 Best Fri­ends” shows what is pos­si­ble when an indus­try works not along­side each other, but tog­e­ther.
