Annual Meetings

Once a year, members and guests meet in Berlin for the Tönissteiner Jahresgespräche. The focus is always on a current international topic, which is presented from different perspectives by renowned national and international experts and discussed in the plenary session.

In addition to the challenging debates, it is the sincere interest of the guests in each other, the enriching exchange of experiences between the generations and the cheerful joint celebrations that make the annual talks so valuable for all participants and thus represent a highlight of the association's year.
