About us
The TUM SPEAKERS SERIES was launched in 1999. It was founded by the then students Alexander Selzle, Clemens Berger, Dr. Jörg Siebert and Prof. Helmut Schönenberger, who later also founded UnternehmerTUM and is still a member of our advisory board today. Shortly after its foundation, the TUM Speakers Series was able to attract renowned guests for talks. Among others, the CEO of Vorkswagen AG, Dr. Bernd Pischetrieder, and entrepreneur Roland Berger visited the TUM Speakers Series during this time. This was followed in 2003 by a visit from German President Roman Herzog. Gradually, it opened up to all students of the Technical University of Munich and other Munich universities and can now look back on events with more than 150 top-class speakers. These speakers not only deal with economic topics, but also talk about society, politics and science – in short, about all issues that are important in an academic environment.
After a relaunch in 2014 under the direction of Simon Dietlmeier, the TUM Speakers Series has been able to attract more and more foreign dignitaries to give lectures and hold discussions with students. A visit by Bill Gates took place in 2016, followed in subsequent years by visits from personalities such as Kofi Annan, Tony Blair, Eric Schmidt and George Soros. To this day, the organization is run by volunteer students. Thanks to the commitment of each member of the organizing team and the support of the university and the faculty, the TUM Speakers Series enjoys a high reputation and is able to reach a large audience. It has developed into the largest student event series in southern Germany and regularly attracts media attention.
