Our evening events
Networking at the highest level. In addition to the classic panels on the three conference days, our two evening events were unique and exclusive: The Night of European Business and the Adlon Talk.
The Night of European Business took place on Tuesday, November 22 at the Museum of Communication in Berlin. The dinner in the historic premises of the museum offered all guests the opportunity for a trustful exchange in an exclusive atmosphere. In 2022, we were pleased to welcome Annalena Baerbock as our guest of honor. The event was framed by a festive dinner speech by our foreign minister followed by an interview with the chief editor of the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Our Adlon Talk on Wednesday, November 23 offered entertainment on the second day of the congress with Marc Beise, founder of SZ Wirtschaftsgipfel and his guests from culture, science, sports and society – in 2022 with Harald Schmidt. In a relaxed atmosphere, the evening offered a perfect opportunity for new contacts and inspiring conversations.
