IFA Auftakt PK


Following the successful IFA Kick-Off, the IFA Auftakt PK serves as the final official launch moment ahead of IFA Berlin 2025. Exactly one week before the main event, IFA invites select press representatives to an exclusive gathering at the iconic Water Tower on the EUREF Campus. This distinctive venue reflects IFA’s spirit – modern, forward-thinking, and innovation-driven.
The content program opens with Dr. Sara Warneke, Managing Director of GFU, who will present an insightful overview of the German market. Afterwards, Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management GmbH, will outline what to expect at IFA 2025 – from new thematic areas to the Sommergarten and an exciting line-up of stages and programming.
The event concludes with networking opportunities and a high-quality buffet in a relaxed atmosphere.
