ST. GALLEN
SYMPOSIUM

Upcoming: 56th St. Gallen Symposium 2027
Conditional Partnerships
28 – 29 April 2027
Across geopolitics, business and society, cooperation is becoming more conditional — shaped less by shared assumptions and more by strategic interest, access and explicit terms.
Partnerships have not disappeared. But they are being reassessed, renegotiated and, increasingly, designed for a world in which trust and openness can no longer be taken for granted.
We bring generations
together since 1969
The St. Gallen Symposium is the world’s most relevant student-driven organisation and platform for

“The St. Gallen Symposium has a unique atmosphere because of the role the students play in its organisation at their alma mater. It is their conference.”
