Past Events

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 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:

Thanks to everyone who joined and made the evening so special!
