Mark your calendar: Handelsblatt Banking 2027, the Handelsblatt Banking Summit, lands in Frankfurt, Germany from 1 September 2027 to 2 September 2027, ready to bring the field together once more. Delegates come to learn, to challenge and to be challenged, which is what keeps the discussion here sharp. Running every year, it has settled into a rhythm the sector plans its year around. Handelsblatt Media Group organises the event, ensuring a polished experience from registration to closing day. This year's edition calls Kap Europa Congress Centre home.

Set against the backdrop of Frankfurt, Handelsblatt Banking 2027 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Between its air links and its local network, getting to and around Frankfurt takes little planning. You will find plenty of places to stay within easy reach of the venue, whether you prefer convenience or character. Use the trip as a springboard: Frankfurt sits within easy reach of much of what Germany has to offer.

Expect deep dives into Banking, Banking Solutions, Banking Technology, Digital Banking and Business Services & Professional, led by some of the most respected voices in the field. Expect a packed line-up of panels, fireside chats and interactive sessions. The event leaves deliberate gaps for mingling, because the best outcomes often start off-agenda.

The ideas you pick up and the people you meet tend to outlast the event by a long way. Handelsblatt Banking 2027 is an essential date for founders, practitioners and investors.

Because hotels near the venue can fill up around the event dates, visitors are advised to arrange travel and accommodation in Frankfurt early.
