GXN Conference – A Few Last Details & Welcome
Dear Member,
As I mentioned in the last Insight I wanted to forward a pre-conference Insight to share final news and details of our 5th anniversary programme.
5th Annual GXN Conference Programme Overview
After months of planning, we have arrived at the final programme for our 5th Annual GXN Conference. The GXN team and I are proud to give an overview and to highlight some parts of the Tuesday 6 October programme: With arrivals from 13:00 and a welcome evening from 19:00 onwards Tuesday is a relaxed and informal start to the programme. The Cocktail Evening in the Grand Tirolia Bar and Terraces starts at 19:00 with cocktails, a menu and conversation.
Wednesday 7 October, with gorgeous weather and up to 11 hours of sunshine: The GXN Golf Tournament, adjacent to the hotel, tees off at 10:00 with a Texas Scramble Schedule. For those of us new to golf and who would like to experience a taster there’s a Beginner’s Clinic at 13:00 led by on-site PGA professionals. For non-golfers a Nature Programme Guided Walk is planned from Colin Loughran or maybe just relax in the Hotel Spa. The afternoon continues with the Golf Awards Ceremony at 18:30, followed by a dinner and networking in the hotel’s Jazz Club.
Thursday 8 October: Starting at 09:00 with the 5th Annual Conference welcome and GXN Keynote, with Michael and Florian, followed by Achim Berg with global insights on How Technology and M&A are driving the economy. Alongside panels, pods, the One Voice initiative, and the GXN Strategy Awards the first day is completed with networking at 16:15 and beyond at the evening dinner event “The Hüttenabend”.
Friday 9 October: After the Women in Promo breakfast meeting, we continue the conference with a Women in Promo update on this impactful initiative. Alongside updates on other GXN initiatives such as the Executive Development Programme, launched at last year’s conference, and our 2026 Keynote from Hanna Lyrek, we continue with panels and insights around AI in Practice and Global Trends. With a conference close at 13:00 we announce the location for GXN 2027.
