Highlight-event brings together the cigar world in Dortmund – accreditation is already open.
Dortmund, 28 August 2025 – ‘Pleasure. Knowledge. Connection.’ is the ethos of the summit, which will take place from 13:00 to 18:00 hrs in the conference rooms of the North Entrance at Messe Dortmund. Participants can expect deep and valuable insights into the topics and issues that are driving the industry — from top-class speakers who know the industry inside out.
Keynotes, panels, and workshops are divided into three streams that address different target groups.
- Stream 1 is aimed at manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and suppliers. The panel programme is designed as a compact conference to explore the innovation, identity, and international dynamics that define and challenge the cigar world today.
- Wholesalers, distributors, retailers and CigarClubs will find workshops in Stream 2 focusing on expertise in craftsmanship, rituals, preservation, and stories that define the world‘s most enduring cultural luxury.
- Finally, Stream 3 focuses on the important target group of German market specialist cigar and pipe retailers. Here, everything revolves around the question: How can we strengthen the trade for the future in these dynamic times?
Streams 1 and 2 will be held in English, while Stream 3 will be held in German.
