38th Bürgenstock Meeting

Monday 11th, Tuesday 12th, Wednesday 13th September 2017

Bürgenstock is organised by ICDA, the second oldest futures industry association in the world, and the only one based in continental Europe. This is the 38th conference; the first conference was held in the alpine resort in 1980. After nearly 10 years of closure for renovation, ICDA is now able to return to the mountain to host part of the 2017 event, prior to a full return in 2018. 

The annual Bürgenstock meeting in 2017 starts with an opening cocktail at the luxurious Palace hotel by the lake in Lucerne on September 11. The second day, September 12, sees the opening of the main conference plenary and parallel sessions at the Palace hotel, Lucerne. In the evening on September 12 we take a boat trip across the lake and then ascend to the Bürgenstock resort for the Bürgenstock Gala Dinner, returning to the Palace hotel Lucerne in the evening. A second day of conference and workshops takes place on September 13.
