New program advisory board for the Rhine Valley Economic Forum
The Rhine Valley Economic Forum is entering a new era. Following the ceremonial farewell to Reinhard Frei as the long-standing conference director at the 30th Rhine Valley Economic Forum in January 2025, it is now clear what will happen next. A newly formed program advisory board will be responsible for the content of future Rhine Valley Economic Forums.
The committee is made up of well-known personalities from the worlds of business and science. Reinhard Frei, who has shaped the Forum for many years, will continue to serve the Forum in an advisory capacity as Chairman of the Advisory Board. He will be joined by political scientist and America expert Claudia Franziska Brühwiler from the HSG, former NZZ journalist and former Director of Avenir Suisse Gerhard Schwarz and Klaus Brammertz, President of AGV Rheintal. The team is completed by Karin Krawczyk, Managing Director of Galledia Event AG, who is also the new Conference Director, Urs Schneider, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Galledia Group, and Daniel Ettlinger, CEO of the Galledia Group.
The content planning is now in full swing. The constituent meeting of the advisory board took place this week in St. Gallen. The final program will be published in summer 2025. Until then, stay tuned!
The 31st Rhine Valley Economic Forum will take place on January 16, 2026.
