Inspired by the vibrant online design community in the early 2000s, TOCA ME started as design platform on the internet, publishing their own art projects and showcasing some of the most creative heads in the global design scene.
After visiting design festivals in Europe and Asia, and being overwhelmed by the creativity and positive vibe, they decided to start their own event in Munich. The conference was born - the first TOCA ME Design Conference took place in 2004.
TOCA ME is Spanish and means 'touch me'. From getting in touch with people, to touch someone on an emotional level as well as in the literal sense. Touching as the ultimate form of communication.
In 2003, after several years in the advertising and design industry, Nina Steenackers, Thorsten and Ron Iberl teamed up and founded the TOCA ME design studio in Munich.
