What is beyond tellerrand?

beyond tellerrand, the name of my event, is a mix of the English word “beyond” and the German word “Tellerrand”, which is the edge of a plate. In Germany you say “Über den Tellerrand schauen” which translates to “Look over the edge of your plate”, meaning something like “Think outside the box”, though that does not completely match the meaning. That describes the aim of mixing different topics to have (force!) people to not only look at their day by day stuff (like attending a JavaScript conference, if you work with JavaScript a lot or a design event, if you are a graphic designer), but also to look left and right from what you do. It also is shown in the mix of topics at the event, where quite a lot is about web related stuff (mostly front end, or "web design" than back end), but spiced with a lot of interesting and inspiring other stuff.
