S-FARI 2025
Stay wild and join the journey!
On September 17 and 18, 2025, Mehrwerk is organizing the S-FARI Camp in Bielefeld for the second time and exclusively for Sparkassen - once again in the Lokschuppen, which has already proven itself as an extraordinary event location in 2023.
The camp starts on 17.09. from approx. 15:00 with check-in & get-together - the camp ends on 18.09. around 16:00.
Come with us on a unique value-added experience tour and don't miss the opportunity to network in an inspiring atmosphere.
The world of savings banks is networking - Welcome to S-FARI 25!
How do savings banks grow beyond themselves? How do they retain customers in the long term? And what measures really ensure genuine customer love?
At S-FARI you will find out - at first hand. Exchange ideas with like-minded people and learn from other thought leaders, decision-makers and doers from the savings bank world what works well, what hasn't worked and why it pays to break new ground and be courageous.
Whether best practices, industry trends or honest discussions about challenges - at S-FARI you will benefit from direct dialog with colleagues and experts. Be inspired, expand your network and actively shape the future of the Sparkasse!
Ticket price: € 349.00(plus 19% VAT: € 66.31)
Join the Expedition! We look forward to seeing you there!
