KPMG Business Festival 2026

For five years, the KPMG Future Summit has been bringing decision-makers together to discuss the most important current issues – and provide concrete answers. In 2026, the Future Summit will take the next logical step: with a new focus and even more interaction. We are creating a framework in which thought leaders for sustainable transformation, technological innovation, economic resilience and bold decisions for the future can come together.

The next event is just around the corner.

Overarching moderation stage

The common thread running through the Future Summit: this is where all the topics come together. The central moderator connects the stages, classifies trends and picks up comments from the audience.

Five years of KPMG Business Festival

The Business Festival will celebrate its fifth anniversary in 2026. What began as a series of themed events is now an established platform for

future-oriented decision-making issues,
interdisciplinary perspectives and
practical insights from business, politics, technology and society.

In 2026, we will bring this experience together for the first time in a central virtual event – clearly structured, with condensed content and a new visual concept.
