Cigar Culture Summit – Your meeting place for knowledge, exchange, and new ideas
On September 14, 2026, the second Cigar Culture Summit will take place, bringing together the most important market topics in a concentrated professional format for the second time after last year’s successful premiere. When the who’s who of the global cigar world comes together on the evening before the start of the trade fair, a space for dialogue is created that goes far beyond mere ordering business. The Cigar Culture Summit has established itself in the industry: This is where manufacturers, leading specialist retailers, media representatives, and industry strategists come together to set the course for the coming financial year.
The program focuses on the important trends in market development under the motto “New Products. New Markets. New Execution.” Participants can expect an in-depth analysis of global trends, regulatory challenges, and innovative distribution channels.
The summit combines this high-caliber expert input with an exclusive evening reception. This provides the ideal setting to strengthen existing partnerships in a professional environment and discuss new market potential with the minds that shape the industry globally. The Cigar Culture Summit is supported by international partners such as ECMA, ITGA, and PCA.
Participants not only start the trade fair week with a clear knowledge advantage, but also become part of a network that promotes cigar culture economically and strategically. Experience has shown that tickets sell out quickly, so hurry to the ticket shop while they are still available.
