Closing Party at the Pump House

Three days done. The closing party moves to a converted pump house on the Landwehrkanal, fifteen minutes’ walk along the water from Halle Nord.

The main hall keeps its old iron pipework and gantries, lit in cool blue with a single long bar underneath. Two Berlin DJs share the night, starting with something gentle while people eat and building from ten. Street-food stalls in the courtyard serve until eleven, with plenty of vegan dishes and alcohol-free drinks at both bars.

Upstairs, a quiet room with low lights, board games and tea is there for anyone who has had enough of talking. Your conference badge is your ticket; the last entry is at 22:30 and the music stops at 23:45, so everyone can still make their last train home.
