Vision
Creating connections that inspire.
KONNECTIKA is a platform that brings together personalities from different generations and industries.
What it is about
Where worlds meet.
At the heart of it are personal encounters, the exchange of experiences and perspectives, and relevant topics that move people today and in the future.
That is how we create access to experiences and worlds beyond your own, so that encounters become lasting relationships, ideas become projects and contacts become new opportunities.
It is about conversations between people who would otherwise hardly meet: the founder and the world champion, the newcomers and the experienced, the brand and the community.
Origin
Born in sport.
Sport is where we come from. From here we open the room to other worlds.
Nelvie Tiafack and RHYSE Global come from sport and understand its culture. That is where formats, partnerships and experiences come from that go far beyond classic marketing.
What matters are real encounters, trust and relationships with lasting impact. Short-term attention and pure reach are not our measure.
After the German Small Side Cup, KONNECTIKA is the next idea of our own: a platform that connects sport with business, brands, media, culture and new generations.
The journey
The journey continues.
24 September 2026 in Cologne was the starting point.
The first edition showed the value of a room where people from different worlds share their experience: around 100 selected guests from sport, business, media and brands, five speakers, one evening. From here grows a format that takes place regularly and grows with its people and topics.
Every event brings new worlds together: other industries, other personalities, new generations and the topics that occupy them today and shape them tomorrow.
Our goal is to take KONNECTIKA beyond Cologne and create new access with every edition. A platform that makes knowledge and experience accessible and lets relationships grow that last beyond a single evening.
Along the way we connect generations. Young talent gets early access to people who have already walked the path. And those who have seen a lot meet the perspectives of the people who will set the tone tomorrow.
For whom
Perspectives that widen the room.
KONNECTIKA matters to everyone who wants to look beyond their own world.
Founders and start-ups
meet experience, networks and honest feedback from worlds that are otherwise hard to reach.
Brands
get to know personalities and communities up close, which is where lasting relationships and shared ideas can grow.
Entrepreneurs
encounter new business models, personalities and developments from sport, lifestyle, media and entertainment.
Investors
discover personalities, ideas and projects early, in a personal conversation rather than through a pitch deck.
Athletes
widen their view beyond their own sport and build contacts that accompany them during and after their career.
Creators, media, culture
bring their own perspectives, communities and experience. They shape how people discover stories and how new topics get attention.
01Bringing all these people together in one place is something special.
02Because usually there is hardly ever a reason to.
03And that is exactly where we see the long-term idea of KONNECTIKA.
We are building a platform that brings these worlds together again and again. With people from different generations, industries and career stages, and personalities from sport, business, brands, media and culture.
KONNECTIKA should be more than a date that shows up in the calendar once and disappears: a place people come back to, where new people join and every edition creates new stories, relationships, ideas and projects.
What started in Cologne should have an impact far beyond one evening.
