43rd DIGITAL FRIENDS DINNER @ Slush

DIGITAL FRIENDS DINNER HAS PRESENTED MAGNETICA NIGHT - A great experience of food, drinks, audio and the unique Finnish way of life

Stefan Heilmann, Kayvan Nikjou, Risto Kuulasmaa, and Simona Nickman have invited their guests to a DFD event as it has never been before.

 

 

THE MORE, THE MERRIER. The end of 2018 was again celebrated with a great event in Helsinki, alongside Slush. Together with old DFD friends Kayvan Nikjou and Risto Kuulasmaa as well as DFD newbie Simona Nickman, Stefan Heilmann has hosted the 43rd DIGITAL FRIENDS DINNER in Helsinki on December 5th, 2018, the closing night of Slush. Slush has proven to be the perfect setting for the DFD series as it is one of the biggest and the world's leading startup events. 20,000 tech-heads will travel to Finland for inspiration, innovation and experience the great Scandinavian spirit.

The theme of this special event: "DIGITAL FRIENDS DINNER presents Magnetica Night". Magnetica is Kayvan Nikjou's, Risto Kuulasmaa's and Simona Nickman's new premium agency, located in Amsterdam. Together with further high-class sponsoring partners (Endel, Rémy Martin, The Helsinki Distilling Company and Playhouse Helsinki) the Magnetica team and Stefan Heilmann have organized a DFD night as no one has ever seen before. The guests were, of course, treated with fantastic food, cool drinks and a spectacular group of people, but during the whole evening, some surprises were waiting for all of them.

As usual: The DIGITAL FRIENDS DINNER event was by invitation only and the event was fully booked. Apologies to all the people who could not attend this time, but stay tuned as there are many events to come in 2019; among them Paris, Berlin, and Moscow.

The event took place at Villa Kataya, one of the most exclusive event locations in Helsinki.
