So mark your calendars now:

When? June 5, 2027

Where? Hamburg, close to the IDGS

We cordially invite you to spend this special day with us.

Mark the date in your calendar—we’re already really looking forward to seeing you all again and celebrating together!

More information will follow shortly.

Warm regards from Hamburg
