We are delighted that so many wonderful partners join us and help creating beyond tellerrand in the way it is with their support – sometimes for many years already. Not only do they help to keep the ticket prices affordable, but they are also giving their best to present themselves in a way that fits the idea of the event and our audience. Therefore a massive “Thank you!” to all Partners for their active support of the event. Without this it’s not possible to organise #btconf and to keep beyond tellerrand alive!
If you think of joining the beyond tellerrand family and are interested in getting more information about what the benefits are and what is included, please let me know and I will directly get in touch with you.

Vito is the online event and streaming platform by – you might guess it – Tito, which is our long-time ticketing partner. About 3 years ago they started working on their streaming platform Vito, but always with the idea in mind that ist should be more than “just” a streaming hub, where you could easily use one of the known streaming solutions.
Instead Vito focuses on the idea of building community hubs, where you would not only join, to watch one stream, but build communities to come back to, watch videos of missed streams, chat to other people of this community and much more. For us it is the perfect fit to gather people before and after the events and gather online during the event – no matter if onsite or watching remotely.
Tito is actually more than “just” a ticket system. They provide a perfect event platform to sell tickets for your events, to email the attendees for your events and to be perfectly prepared to welcome your attendees onsite, when the big day is there. We use Tito since our second event and are super happy with the platform, their service and – most importantly to us – the people creating and working at Tito. (If you wonder why we did not use it at the very first event, the answer is simple: it wasn’t existing …)
For all those years Illhill is our wonderful and reliable partner to produce t-shirts and much more. Next to the production, Holger of Illhill is onsite in our exhibition whenever possible doing live silkscreen printing and selling his fantastic products.

skate-aid is a non-profit organization (NGO) from Germany, that provides extensive child and youth Services through the pedagogical power of skateboarding. Since it was founded in 2009 by skateboard pioneer Titus Dittmann, skate-aid has implemented projects for disadvantaged kids and teenagers worldwide. In our projects we build skate parks in countries like Uganda, Namibia, Rwanda and Palestine and recently opened our newest skate park in Damascus/Syria in cooperation with the SOS Children's Villages. Especially in areas where social abuses and difficult living conditions prevail, we support kids in their development and encourage self-determined learning and intrinsic motivation. In addition, we offer orientation aid, contribute to gender equality and enable an increase in self-esteem, community awareness, personal responsibility and determination. The skate parks and the skateboard are the necessary tools to provide sustainable support through our workshops. The kids learn to get up after falling down. This strengthens their personality and takes away their fear of facing new challenges later in life. That’s our mission: we empower kids!
In particular, the following measures enable skate-aid to carry out its mission in the projects every day and thus providing genuine socialization-, prevention- and peace work:
Our mission is successful when we help kids and teenagers on their way to adulthood, becoming self-confident, enlightened, creative, enthusiastic, committed, courageous, persevering, frustration-tolerant and active individuals in their society. Especially where adverse living conditions such as war and conflict, poverty, racism and much more can endanger their positive development.
We’re working on it. Our Mission: We empower kids!
I am using Host Europe since times when they even haven’t been called Host Europe. I never had the feeling that I need to move my domains or servers away from them and always have been a happy customer, knowing I can rely on their good support and their products.
So, if you ever wondered where this beyond tellerrand website, or marcthiele.com and my podcast neu•gierig are hosted: Host Europe that is.

Communication like a story
Let’s talk about imagination: Brands are visual images in people's minds. They are characterised by experiences, emotions, associations and knowledge. We shape these brands. To do this, we immerse ourselves in culture and markets, sense the mindset of target groups and bring brands in line with the zeitgeist.
We give brands a face and a voice. And we develop inspiring narratives that express the brand DNA. Because a good story moves people, stays in their heads and is passed on.
We are Studio Kunst – Agency for Brand and Story.
