Lucerne in June – shining sun, colorful flowers, and breathtaking views on the mountains… right? Except on the 21st and 22nd, when our Bergos Next Community was welcomed by clouds and rain. But no worries – we didn’t let that stop us from having a wonderful time together!
The weekend was packed with networking gatherings in some of the city’s most stunning locations, and captivating talks from keynote speakers.
Our community’s entrepreneurial spirits were sparked during an engaging panel discussion moderated by our Team Member Nolwenn, where Verve writer and VC investor Eugen Stamm, and successful entrepreneur Reto Lämmler (Founder TestingTime), shared insights on the startup journey, both from the investor’s and founder’s perspectives. Our gathering was made even more special with a visit from Piaget representatives, who guided us through the world of watches and jewelry. Participants learned about the rich heritage of the Maison and explored discussions on investment and sustainability within the luxury industry. The highlight for many was our exclusive visit to the Swiss luxury car garage Carage, partner of Koenigsegg and other luxury brands, where we admired and got close to some of the most prestigious and one-of-a-kind vehicles out there— enough to fuel any aspiring pilot’s dreams!
And of course, we wrapped up the weekend with a memorable after-party, raising our glasses one last time to a fantastic time together on Saturday night.
Thank you again to all our guests for attending and making this 4th Next Weekend unforgettable. We’re excited to gather again soon for many more events to come!
