For over 35 years, the Finance Symposium has been a fixed date in the calendar of the finance and treasury community. What began as a specialist event with 120 participants has developed into the leading European congress for treasury, finance and related topics along the financial value chain. A new chapter begins in 2026: the Finance Symposium moves to the RheinMain CongressCenter (RMCC) in Wiesbaden. The modern location not only opens up more space, but also new opportunities - for formats, encounters and visibility.
A strong community that networks
In 2026, the Finanzsymposium will remain true to what it stands for: a congress that combines in-depth content, leading company representatives, strong partners and genuine dialog formats at eye level. The new setup enables more targeted participation models, more individualization for partners and a user experience that focuses on the community. For partners, this means more visibility, more creative freedom - and the opportunity to be present at the heart of the industry.
