Handelsblatt Annual Conference Restructuring 2024 | Handelsblatt Media Group | 23 April 2024 | Hilton Frankfurt City Center, Hochstraße 4, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

That was 3 days of concentrated knowledge and networking at the conferenve. With 95 experts on stage, 350 participants live and digitally in the auditorium, 70% managing directors and partners, 20 hours of information over 4 days, 16 hours of networking during breaks and at 3 evening events.
Companies are facing a multiple crisis period that challenges them in different ways and often leaves them in difficulties. There are fears of a major wave of insolvencies. Experts agree that government "first aid measures" are the right thing to do, but that too much government aid has a counterproductive effect and leads to distortions of competition. So "business as usual" will not be good for the German economy. Flexibility, courage and innovation are now needed to meet the challenges and initiate, go through and successfully complete transformation processes. But how do companies make their business models future-proof? How do you take the entire company along with you during the restructuring? What does good liquidity management look like in order to make appropriate investments?
