GARP Networking Event & General Assembly 2026
We are delighted to welcome the GARP community to Dresden this November for two days of exchange, networking and industry insights.
Artificial Intelligence in Relocation: Opportunities, Limitations & Ground Rules
Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, and the relocation industry is no exception. But where is AI already creating genuine value today? Where are its limitations? And, most importantly, how can we use AI responsibly when working with sensitive client and assignee data? In this practical discussion, two experts will bring different perspectives to the table and explore what the use of AI means for relocation professionals today.

✨ Networking Means Mental Health 🧠🤝
What an inspiring afternoon at our latest garp networking event hosted by the Techniker Krankenkasse headquarters in Hamburg!
Together with our health partner TK, we explored the connection between mental well-being, modern workplace culture, and the future of work. Participants enjoyed insightful presentations on supporting international employees, digital solutions for HR and Relocation teams, and building healthy workplace cultures that drive sustainable success.
A special thank you to our speakers for sharing their expertise and valuable perspectives:
🎤 Sebastian Tobelander & Arbnor Xhemajli
🎤 Fee Kalter
Beyond the presentations, the event offered plenty of opportunities for meaningful conversations, new connections, and fresh ideas – complemented by healthy refreshments, brain food, and interactive VR experiences.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such an engaging and inspiring afternoon. A special thanks to Nils Berg, Sebastian Tobelander, Fee Kalter and Hannah Zentgraf who made this afternoon perfect. We look forward to seeing you all at our next garp event! Please stay tuned for the announcement

What a fantastic afternoon and evening at the GARP Relocation Networking Event on March 26, 2026, in Frankfurt! 🙌
We look back on a truly successful event, starting with the kickoff at Lyght Living, including exclusive insights and a tour of the furniture repair center “Circular Islands.” This was followed by an evening at the IHK Offenbach that was equally informative and enjoyable.
A special thank you goes to Hannah Zentgraf for opening the evening, and to the participants of our expert panel on “Furnished Lettings in Transition – Opportunities, Risks, and New Regulations”: Karen Wilde-Schultz, Alen Nalbandian, Nils Tinder, and Daniel Ishikawa. We remain curious to see how the new legislative proposal will shape our industry.
We would also like to thank IHK Offenbach – especially Brigitte Appiah and – for their outstanding support in organizing the event.
Our biggest thanks, however, go to you: our entire network and all guests who traveled from near and far – for your participation, the many great conversations, and the incredible energy. And for your generous donations to Hospiz am Wasserturm, represented by Dr. Carsten Lehr ❤
Last but not least, the companies that made this event possible through their generous sponsorship: Lyght Living, smartments, Die Techniker, and Wissig & Nalbandian Rechtsanwälte. THANK YOU.

A great night in Munich! 
Last week we had the pleasure of hosting our GARP networking event at the beautiful Wunderlocke Aparthotel in Munich — and what an evening it was!
Highlights of the night:
- Inspiring insights into the latest updates from GARP by Hannah Zentgraf
- An introduction to the design-driven world of Locke by Axel Eike Bermen
- Plenty of time for connecting, exchanging ideas, and enjoying fantastic food & drinks
- Exclusive guided tours of the stylish Wunderlocke spaces
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success. It’s always a pleasure to bring our community together — and we’re already looking forward to the next events! 
Thank you to all members who joined our event evening in Berlin on April 10, 2025.
The event was more than just about networking; it was about courage, innovation, and fresh perspectives.
At the garp family networking get-together, we had the pleasure of connecting with amazing professionals from the relocation and global mobility world – all in a truly inspiring setting.
The “Klub zur hohen Kante” showed what happens when you trust young talents with real responsibility – and let them thrive. Their bold and successful approach resonates deeply with us at garp.
Because for us, innovation means:
- Embracing new paths
- Thinking differently
- Creating space for fresh ideas and meaningful connections
Thanks to everyone who joined and made the evening so special!
