StrategySummit 2026
The strategy event for mid-sized companies: forward-looking, hands-on, and full of concrete ways for companies to run effective strategy work themselves.
Our partners for the StrategySummit 2026
Real strategy makers share what works in practice
As every year, we invite you to join open discussions and keynote talks. The StrategySummit brings together the strategy makers of mid-sized companies.
100 strategists at your level
For each of the two days, we invite 100 experienced strategy makers. That gives you the chance to talk through your questions with people who have been there,
Real experience instead of dull theory
Every year, we work hard to give you genuine insight into strategy work. The summit is built around the current challenges and opportunities facing mid-sized companies.
Transparent and discreet
The StrategySummit is not about saving face or having political debates. It is about a real exchange among equals: that is the only way the community grows.

Our hosts
"One thing is certain in these uncertain times: hope is not a strategy. As the hosts of the podcast and the authors of the book of the same name, we care deeply about demystifying strategy and showing how you can win with strategic work in times like these.
That's why we're looking forward to welcoming you to our StrategySummit on April 23–24, 2026. Alongside compelling keynotes and panel discussions, the exchange within the strategy community is at the heart of this one-of-a-kind event. We can't wait to see you there!"
Christian Underwood (CEO StrategyFrame®) & Prof. Dr. Jürgen Weigand (Chair of Industrial Organization, WHU)
Venue
The StrategySummit 2026 will once again take place at Munich Colab.
Freddie-Mercury-Straße 5, 80797 Munich
FAQs - Frequently asked questions
The agenda for the StrategySummit isn't set far in advance. We deliberately shape it together with the participants. During the preparation phase, it becomes clear which topics are genuinely relevant right now, who can contribute ideas and which questions belong at the center. That's also why the lineup of speakers is confirmed only at that point.
If you have a topic that would be especially valuable for the community, whether for the Consultant Summit on April 23, 2026 (exclusively for experienced strategy consultants and small consulting firms) or the CXO Summit on April 24, 2026 (exclusively for managing directors, board members and heads of strategy), you can reach out to the StrategyFrame® team anytime and propose it. Please contact Alexandra Schneider at alexandra@strategy-frame.com
The StrategySummit starts at 9:00 a.m. on both days, April 23, 2026 (Consultant Summit) and April 24, 2026 (CXO Summit). After a short warm-up, the first talks and discussion rounds begin.
At midday there's a shared lunch, followed by more ideas and discussion formats in the afternoon. Each day closes with a relaxed evening that leaves plenty of room for exchange and networking.
The answer is: yes and no. The StrategySummit isn't meant as a place to sell to sponsors or to expose participants as a target group for product placements. The goal is an exclusive event with a clear focus on content and real exchange.
At its core, it's about shaping these two days together, out of the community and the ecosystem, and enabling content and discussions that create real value.
