Annual Meetings
Once a year the members meet in Berlin for the "Tönissteiner Annual Meetings". The program is based on an international topic of current interest, which is presented by a range of high quality speakers from Germany, France, Great Britain or the United States of America, offering a range of perspectives for discussion.
Highlight of the program is the keynote speech, during which a well-known personality from politics, economics or the sciences comments on a topic. The Annual Meeting regularly attracts approximately 200 Tönissteiner from Germany and abroad, plus the members of the Student Forum and 30 other invited guests.
