Kristina Kierner
Chief Revenue Officer
orderbird GmbH
"The ARRtist Summit is the perfect symbiosis of valuable content, interesting contributions and wonderful networking in a unique atmosphere. For me as a revenue leader, it is always an investment to take a day out of everyday life - therefore my absolute recommendation to all other managers out there to do the same. Be sure to come to the ARRtist Summit 2025!"
Julian Mattes
Partner

Filip Felician Dames
Entrepreneur and Investor
Cherry Ventures
“I like small conferences. I'm not a huge fan of standing in big halls with thousands of people. And I just think that the quality is higher here; That you have more 1-on-1 conversations.”
Alex Roggero
CMO & Co-Founder
Crono
"ARRtist in Berlin just proved itself again to be, in my opinion, the top SaaS & Sales B2B event in Europe. It’s not a massive event (capped at 500 people, invite-only), but the quality? Insane."
Bettine Schmitz
Founder
Auxxo Female Catalyst Fund
"Etwas spezifisch für B2B-SaaS zu haben für Deutschland ist gerade total relevant, Weil sich da so viel entwickelt und das hier es ein toller Ort ist - auch für Gründerinnen. Für mich ist immer das wichtigste - bei jeder Konferenz: 2-3 richtig gute, enge Kontakte aufzubauen. Und ich lieb’s auch wirklich mir Vorträge anzuhören und den ein oder anderen Snippet.”
Dominik Hörner
Growth Investor
Yttrium
"ARRTist was once again the best B2B SaaS event for us in the DACH region. I appreciate the intimacy of the event, the high percentage of relevant people and the inspiring sessions."
Tobias Giesen
Co-Founder & CEO
Growably
"Last week, I spoke to more SaaS founders and executives in one day than in the entire previous year"
