Dear University Community,

On March 20 and 21, 2026, the 28th Congress for Family Businesses will take place at our university. We are delighted to be hosting this important exchange between science and business once again. Over the years, the congress has developed into one of the largest of its kind in Europe - a success that we as a university community can be pleased about.

We know that the event may entail some restrictions for you and would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and support.

Preparations:

• From Saturday, 14.03.2026: Set-up in the hall and in the Audimax of the main building.
• Until Thursday, 19.03.2026: All entrances remain accessible as usual. Please note that from Wednesday, 18.03.2026, the entrance through the revolving door to the main building will be redirected via a container set up in front of the building. The entrance to the right of the revolving door and the rear entrance can be used as usual via the smartcard.

During the congress:

• Friday, 20.03.2026: Official start of the congress. As the main entrances will also be used by participants, we would be pleased if you could use the rear entrance of the main building or the side entrance of the new building (near the library) if necessary.
• The hall and the cafeteria area will be lively on this day. If you have the opportunity to work from home, this could be a sensible alternative.

Security concept:

Special security measures apply during the congress. You may therefore be asked for your smart card or ID at the entrances. Thank you for your understanding!

A big thank you to all those who have already supported us in the preparations - your help is essential for the success of this event!

If you have any questions, we are always here for you: riegel@familienunternehmer-kongress.de

Kind regards
