Ever traveled to #FlixLand?

Last week, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary with over 1000 Flixies at FlixLand at the ferropolis festival location.

After 6 months of preparation, the great Internal Comms and Event team with Sarah R. , Cornelia Cibotaru , Silja Bultmann and Sabina Grixoni put in place a “once in a lifetime” meetup.

Our #FlixSummer, with an impressive lineup of Flix and external DJs, live music, performance artists, crazy activities and competitions, super emotional team moments and our Management performing great on stage!

Two beaches, one main stage, a Biergarten and the FlixPromenade food court were the main areas to celebrate.

📌Goals of the event:

🟩Celebrate the great team and 10 years Flix.

🟩Meet other Flixies to connect and build on our culture.

🟩Create the best FlixSummer with the aim to generate unforgettable moments.

🟩Include our values in the event concept since they define how we work together (thanks Myra Kuehne for your support).

🟩Include our products as much as possible! I loved the bus pulling team feeling.

🟩Minimize our CO2 footprint as much as possible (the event and all related trips will be offset, but we made sure to use sustainable and collective transport…the Munich, Berlin and Leipzig Flixies took the bus. Great to see collective travel in action, thanks to all the bus partners and drivers who made that possible via Markus Büttner

👆 Learnings:

🟩Messaging and content at such events need to be even clearer and as short as possible since the level of attention prioritizes towards music, chatting, eating and dancing. Our only “speech” part was 25 minutes, summarizing the past, present and future of Flix via our 4 attending C-level Flixies André Schwämmlein , Christoph Debus , Daniel Krauss and Max Zeumer .

🟩A good team can compensate sickness absences but the emotional aspect of having to work and celebrate without the leading organizer is impacting. Get well soon Silja Bultmann , you have laid the ground for us to finalize what you prepared so well.

🟩A festival location is not an event location. There are so many more toilets and drinking water stations, the terrain is huge to put in place uncountable activities. The coolness of the location management keeps you down to earth and the caterer learned that 1000 people who get food for free are more demanding then some thousand festival guests who bring own food or have to pay for it.

🟩Regarding food: it was great, just some waiting time sometimes that we had anticipated to be less long, but we all got saturated in the end I would say

🟩Attention to detail pays out. Branding of the location and every single touchpoint was pushing the Flix feeling, seeing over 1000 people in green Flix t-shirts was overwhelming (thanks everybody for joining our invitation to get dressed up for our Flix logo photo, we will share that soon).

🟩It needs some guts to invite a whole company to pass two days on a festival location, but it pays out because it’s different. Thanks for committing to that concept from the start André and Anika Kolbinsky .

🟩Dancing with my team, Ante Grbeša , Peter Bankov and Pietro Cipriani as well as with Ömer Faik Ünsal -to name a view- is super fun.

🟩It can get really cold at night in a tent in German summer.

🟩My throat or my vocal cords only have a limited capacity of talking and screaming (others might call it singing) before it stops working.

🟩I am a happy and proud 💚Flix team member.
