Mark your calendar: IMPACT FESTIVAL 2026, the Germany Event for Sustainable Innovation, lands in Frankfurt, Germany from 25 November 2026 to 26 November 2026, 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. Because it comes around every year, each edition arrives with genuine anticipation. The event is expected to welcome around 4000 attendees from across the world. Doors open at Messe Frankfurt, a space designed to keep large gatherings flowing smoothly.

Location matters, and Frankfurt delivers. It brings together the infrastructure of a major event city with the warmth of a place used to hosting guests from abroad. Arriving is half the worry with most events; not here — Frankfurt's connections mean you can be at the venue soon after you land. Book ahead and you will have your pick of Frankfurt's hotels, from the practical to the memorable. When the badge comes off, Frankfurt keeps giving — good food, local colour and sights worth the detour. Within Germany, Frankfurt stands out as a hub for business, trade and professional gatherings.

The agenda spans Innovation, Business, Economy and Finance, with something for both newcomers and seasoned professionals. Expect a rhythm of big ideas and practical detail, punctuated by chances to meet the people behind them. 280+ speakers take to the stage across the programme, so there is always a session worth catching. Spread across 7,500 m² of exhibition space, the show floor offers ample room to source and compare.

Expect to leave informed, inspired and better connected than when you arrived. IMPACT FESTIVAL 2026 is an essential date for researchers, operators and enthusiasts.
