Euroforum

What Euroforum does

Euroforum Deutschland GmbH, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Düsseldorf, is a German B2B event organizer operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Handelsblatt Media Group GmbH & Co. KG (itself part of Dieter von Holtzbrinck Medien). The company produces conferences, seminars, year-end meetings, webinars, inhouse corporate trainings, and digital continuing-education programs — collectively branded under Euroforum, Handelsblatt, WirtschaftsWoche, and the CTI sub-brand — for executives and decision-makers across banking, insurance, energy, real estate, IT, legal, and automotive verticals in the DACH region.

Its product surface spans Konferenzen (conferences and annual meetings), Seminare & Trainings, Webinare, Inhouse-Schulungen, eLearnings via the Handelsblatt Management Campus, Agentur-Dienstleistungen (managed corporate events), Live-Online-Trainings, and a subscription newsletter. Event delivery uses a multi-vendor digital stack — Swapcard and Talque for participant and networking experience, Microsoft Teams / Webex / Zoom for real-time communication, edudip for webinars, blink.it for eLearning progress tracking, sli.do for chat, and Vimeo for on-demand playback — supported by in-person production at hotels, client premises, and Euroforum's own facilities.

The business model combines one-time conference and seminar ticket sales (with binding registrations, early-bird, group, startup, and young-professional discounts), customized inhouse training engagements, B2B sponsorship and exhibition sales to companies targeting the executive audience, digital documentation, and a recurring newsletter subscription. Distribution is direct via the euroforum.de and live.handelsblatt.com websites, phone and email registration, and field sales for sponsorships and corporate clients. Approximately 1,500 press guests attend Euroforum events annually, reinforcing the parent's media reach and the company's role as a knowledge-transfer forum for German-speaking senior professionals.
