SZ Economic Summit 2019 Germany‘s major economic congress: expand and maintain your network in business and politics The SZ Economic Summit is a forum for the major debates that move business and politics. We talk about the current challenges and opportunities for companies in Germany and Europe, about digitisation and innovation, about major political decisions and current events – and what this means for us. All this embracing our motto “Strong together!”
SZ Economic Summit 2019 Three compact days in the capital: discuss what really moves you At the SZ economic summit, the discussions on the panels are just as important as the discussions on the fringes – in the breaks, at lunch and at the evening events. Engage with other guests and benefit directly from their experience, cultivate your networks and forge contacts. The congress brings together people from a wide variety of backgrounds, from representatives of large companies to family entrepre- neurs and aspiring founders. By using our congress app, you can address all participants directly and arrange to meet at the coffee bar.
SZ Economic Summit 2019 More than a congress: enjoy exclusive evenings at special locations If you are also interested in issues beyond the economy, then you are at the right event with us! Just as the Süddeutsche Zeitung offers you more than just a business section, our congress offers more than just debates on business subjects at the evening events. On Sunday, we will start with a welcome party at the Kalkscheune, on Monday, SZ Chief Business Editor Marc Beise will entertain with a talk in the converted ballroom of the Adlon, and the festive „Night of the European Economy“ at the Museum for Commu- nication will be the highlight of the SZ economic summit on Tuesday. All evening events are included in the congress ticket.
