Supporters Gala Dinner

We believe in the young adults of Europe. We want to encourage them to activate the power of a new generation within themselves and to look positively into the future despite the challenges of our time.

The Smart Rebels would like to thank you for your support of our project with the Supporters Gala on October 29th in Frankfurt am Main, in the heart of Europe. For this occasion, we are creating a very special venue and transforming it into a breathtaking cosmos for one evening only.

From 6:30 pm until late into the starry night, the gala will give you a taste of the days to come with a specially choreographed show, visuals and talks. When two things come together that don't seem to fit at first glance, the result is often magical. ESA astronaut Dr. Matthias Maurer will answer the question of how culinary art and space go together ... You will experience it. Feel it. Taste it.

During the evening, 12 top chefs will prepare a first-class dinner live in front of your eyes. Each composition is a tribute to creativity, precision and passion.

This night will make history.
