Lateshift (Spätschicht) Bodensee brings cross-border decision-makers together on the water.
True regional transformation does not stop at national borders — especially around Lake Constance. On October 8th, starting at 6:00 PM, the curated live-event series Spätschicht Bodensee moves to Lindau Island inside the historic Eilguthalle for its next edition, bringing together builders and decision-makers from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein.
Organized by Thomas Gabriel and the team of PIZ, the lineup focuses directly on real-world implementation, leadership, and long-term brand building:
Alexander Leopold (CEO, Erwin Hymer Group) shares insights on steering a global market leader with over 20 brands and more than €3 billion in turnover.
Seraphine Wilhelm (Managing Director, Rapunzel Naturkost) highlights how an organic pioneer scales internationally while preserving its core values and identity.
Patrick Layer (Co-CEO, Layer-Großhandel) breaks down generational business succession and digital modernization.
Marco Stark (FC Bayern München) breaks down the creation of global brand partnerships, including recent collaborations with tech leaders like Google.
Following the sold-out kickoff in Dornbirn, this evening focuses on the core question of what makes tomorrow’s winning companies — spanning growth, brand positioning, and culture without the usual stage fluff. The program transitions naturally into open conversations, drinks, and targeted networking right on the waterfront.
We are organizing a group visit to Spätschicht in Lindau as a dedicated Lake Constance tribe excursion. If you want to explore the event together and connect with fellow creators from across the four-country region, send a short email to lakeconstance@wemorrow.com.
