Supporting Program Well Received

High interest among attendees was sparked by the Fireplace Talks featuring Petra Tschudin of the Swiss National Bank, UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti, and economist Lars Feld. The roundtable discussion on the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence also attracted significant attention. The supporting program featured numerous expert presentations and panel discussions.

Around 100 exhibitors participated in the fair, along with a total of 16 industry associations, professional organizations, and education partners.

«Given the significant uncertainty and disruptions in our environment, and the resulting flood of information, the financial fair offered essential first-hand guidance in a compact format,» said Bernhard Zosso, Managing Director of the event.

Congress Format for 2026

Next year, the format and location of «Finanz’26» will change. It will take place on March 4 and 5, 2026, as a congress rather than a trade fair and will move from Oerlikon to the Kongresshaus in central Zurich. The supporting program is expected to play a more prominent role in the updated format, according to organizers.
