A Berlin day that brought our remote team together
Most of the time, you’ll find us spread across time zones and screens. But this September, the Octily crew came together in Berlin – and the date couldn’t have been more fitting. The 8th of September. Our lucky number. Eight arms on an octopus, the infinity loop on its side… it felt like the day was made for us.
For some of us, it was the very first time meeting in person. Our unofficial HQ? Anna’s place. The perfect spot to kick things off before diving into strategy and stories. Getting there was its own adventure: planes, trains, cars, and in Anna’s case, just rolling out of bed.
So how do you capture a whole day in Berlin?
We asked the team to sum it up in three words:
Susan: Strategy. Good Vibes. Creativity. (And loads of coffee)
Daniel: Fun. Food. Fortschritt.
Sanjeev: Working. Relationship. Booster
Lin: Wunderbar. Memorable. Great Day.
Fernanda: Connection. Collaboration. Inspiration.
Rob: Connection. Memories. Laughter.
Simen: Get-together. Playful. Connected.
Michelle: Pizza. People. Party.
Anna: Energetic. Togetherness. Flow.
Berlin in Motion
Not just plans and notes, but laughter, stories, and great connections.
Morning coffee + meet up
Strategy talks (with a dash of Daniel and Rob’s dad jokes)
Food chats about life
Ending with more energy than we started
Beneath the surface of remote work, these one-day meetups give us the spark that keeps everything moving forward. Ideas were brewing and great things are coming your way.
Let’s Stay Curious
We believe good ideas come from different minds, different perspectives, and different ways of working. This was just a small peek beneath the surface.
Got a challenge?
We’d love to hear it.
