Absolventenkongress Stuttgart

The Absolventenkongress is a specialised careers fair aimed at students, graduates and early-career professionals. It serves as a bridge between higher education and entry into the workforce.

Held annually in Stuttgart, the event takes place at the Liederhalle conference and cultural centre. This centrally located venue offers modern architecture, professional facilities and excellent public transport links, ensuring a convenient and accessible experience for visitors. The event is organised by Staufenbiel Institut GmbH, a well-established careers services provider in Germany that specialises in supporting the transition from university to employment and maintains an extensive network of employers and academic institutions.

The fair focuses squarely on tangible career opportunities. Employers showcase internships, graduate trainee schemes, thesis placements and entry-level roles, while also offering insights into their corporate culture and career development prospects. A range of on-site services complements the exhibition, including one-to-one career advice, CV reviews, professional headshots, as well as workshops and talks on topics such as job applications, salary negotiation and career planning. A notable feature is the AI-powered matching system, which connects visitors with suitable employers based on their profiles, making the experience more targeted and efficient.

Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of industries, including manufacturing, IT, consulting, finance, the automotive sector, retail and the public sector, providing a realistic snapshot of the current job market. The audience is equally diverse, consisting largely of students and early-career professionals from a wide range of disciplines, from engineering and business to the humanities and social sciences. The Absolventenkongress also forms part of a nationwide series of events held in several German cities, including Hamburg, creating a comprehensive network of career opportunities across the country.

As a platform for networking, career orientation and direct job prospects, the Absolventenkongress ranks among the leading careers fairs in Germany. Its Stuttgart venue combines a central location with excellent accessibility by both public transport and car, offering ideal conditions for a productive and successful visit.

The Absolventenkongress will take place on Wednesday, 13. May 2026 in Stuttgart.
