Real strategy makers report from the field
As every year, we invite you to joint discussions and keynote speeches. The StrategySummit brings together strategists from the SME sector.
100 strategists at your level
We are inviting 100 experienced strategy makers for each of the two days. This gives you the opportunity to talk to experienced strategy makers about your questions,
Practical experience instead of boring theory
Every year, we strive to provide real insights into strategic work. The Summit focuses on current challenges and opportunities for SMEs.
Transparent and discreet
Our StrategySummit is not about saving face and holding political discussions. It's about a genuine exchange at eye level - this is the only way the community can grow.

Our host
"One thing is certain in these uncertain times: hope is not a strategy. As hosts of the podcast and authors of the book of the same name, it is therefore particularly important to us to demystify the myth of strategy and provide suggestions on how to win with strategic work in these times.
For this reason, we look forward to welcoming you to our StrategySummit on April 23/24, 2026. In addition to exciting keynotes and panel discussions, the focus of this unique event will be on exchanging ideas with the strategy community - we look forward to seeing you there!"
Christian Underwood (CEO StrategyFrame®) & Prof. Dr. Jürgen Weigand (Chair of Industrial Organization, WHU)
Venue
StrategySummit 2026 will once again take place at Munich Colab this year.

FAQs - Frequently asked questions
The agenda for the Strategy Summit is not drawn up well in advance, but deliberately together with the participants. During the preparation phase, it becomes clear which topics are currently really relevant, who can provide impetus and which issues should take center stage. This is why it is only then that we decide which speakers will be there.
If you have a topic that is of particular value to the community - be it for the Consultant Summit on 23.04.2026 (exclusively for experienced strategy consultants and small consulting firms) or the CXO Summit on 24.04.2026 (exclusively for managing directors, board members and heads of strategy) - you can contact the Strategy Frame team at any time and suggest your topic. To do so, please contact Alexandra Schneider at alexandra@strategy-frame.com
The Strategy Summit starts on both days - on 23.04.2026 (Consultant Summit) and on 24.04.2026 (CXO Summit) - at 9:00 am. After a short warm-up, the first presentations and discussion rounds will begin.
At lunchtime, there will be a joint lunch before further impulses and discussion formats take place in the afternoon. The event will conclude with a get-together in the evening, providing space for exchange and networking.
The answer is: Yes and no. The Strategy Summit is not intended to sell itself to sponsors or to reveal the participants as a target group for product placements. The aim is to create an exclusive event with a focus on content and genuine exchange.
In essence, it is about shaping the two days together from within the community and the ecosystem and enabling content and discussions that create real added value.
So if you feel you have something to contribute here and would like to support the event, please contact Alexandra Schneider at alexandra@strategy-frame.com
