What is happening at the German Chamber this year? Who will serve on the Chamber's Board of Directors in North China for the 2026–2028 term? And which key topics will shape our work in the year ahead?

 

We are pleased to invite you to our Annual General Meeting & Board Elections 2026, followed by a Chamber Dinner, taking place on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Kempinski Hotel Beijing Yansha Center. All Members, Voting Members, and Non-Voting Members are warmly welcome to attend.

 

During the Annual General Meeting, we will review the Chamber's activities and priorities and present the results of the Board Elections 2026, officially introducing the newly elected Board of Directors who will guide the Chamber over the next two years. A total of 15 candidates have put themselves forward for election.


In addition, the evening will feature a panel discussion with senior industry representatives from leading German and Chinese companies, who will share their perspectives on current business sentiment, challenges and opportunities for international companies, geopolitical developments, cooperation with Chinese partners, and global market strategies. Further details, including the speakers, will be announced in due course.


Don't miss the opportunity to actively shape the future of the Chamber: get to know the Board candidates and cast your vote for the individuals who will best represent you and your company's interests for the upcoming two-year term.


How to Vote? For this year's Board Elections 2026, members may choose between two voting options. Voting is possible online prior to the Annual General Meeting or in person on the day of the AGM.
