Invitation to the THM MBA Alumni Event 2026 in Frankfurt – Reunions, Knowledge Sharing, and New Inspiration

Reviving old connections, gaining new perspectives, and looking toward the future together — this is what the THM MBA Alumni Event, taking place on October 16 and 17, 2026, in Frankfurt am Main, is all about. Centered on the theme "Digital Euro, Innovation and Connection" the event offers current students and alumni a diverse program featuring high-caliber expert presentations, engaging discussions, exclusive insights into the financial world, and ample opportunities for personal interaction. Our MBA program thrives on its strong network. Many of our graduates now hold key positions in companies, banks, consultancies, and public institutions — both in Germany and far beyond. The alumni event provides the ideal opportunity to reconnect with former classmates, forge new contacts, and exchange experiences regarding career paths, current challenges, and future developments. At the same time, current students gain valuable insights into professional practice and benefit from the experiences of our alumni. The event also promises stimulating professional insights. Key topics include current developments surrounding the digital euro, innovations in the financial sector, and the impact of new regulatory and technological trends on companies and markets. We are pleased to welcome distinguished speakers such as Maria Frantzi, Head of the SupTech Analytics Section within the Technology & Innovation Division of the European Central Bank’s Banking Supervision arm, and Prof. Dr. Christoph Gallus, Professor of Financial Services at THM and former Managing Director at Deutsche Bank.
