World of Trading (WoT) Frankfurt

The World of Trading (WoT) is Germany’s leading trade fair dedicated to active trading and investing – an annual industry event that has held a firm place in the financial calendar since 2005. It is organized by World of Trading Veranstaltungs GmbH, a company specializing in financial trade fairs and publications. With the WoT, they have created a format that is unique in the German-speaking world.

Each autumn, the Forum at Messe Frankfurt transforms into a vibrant hub for traders, investors, financial professionals, and technology providers. The fair appeals equally to seasoned market experts and ambitious private investors, offering a highly practical platform with live trading at its core. Visitors can watch top traders operate in real time, follow in-depth market analyses, and discover actionable strategies – delivered straight from the trading desk to the main stage.

A diverse conference program enhances the event experience. High-level presentations, seminars, and workshops cover all key aspects of modern trading – from equities, forex, and commodities to derivatives, analytical techniques, risk management, trading psychology, and automation. Additional focus topics such as cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and both team-based and algorithmic trading highlight the fair’s role in advancing digital financial innovation.

Another key element of the WoT is the accompanying professional exhibition. Here, leading brokers, software providers, platform developers, financial publishers, and education institutions showcase their latest products, tools, and services. Visitors gain insights into current trends, compare solutions, connect directly with providers, and expand their networks. This combination of knowledge-sharing, innovation, and networking gives the World of Trading its distinctive value – informative, interactive, and inspiring.

The WoT audience consists largely of professionals from across the financial sector – including banks, brokerage firms, asset managers, proprietary trading companies, fintechs, as well as independent traders and investors. A particularly high proportion of active market participants and decision-makers sets the event apart from other financial industry gatherings.

The venue, Forum Messe Frankfurt, is centrally located, equipped with modern infrastructure, and easily accessible by public transport and car. Its proximity to the central train station, city center, and airport ensures a smooth arrival for both domestic and international guests.

The World of Trading is more than just a trade fair – it is a knowledge hub, a professional meeting point, and an immersive experience for everyone who wants to understand the markets, seize opportunities, and take their skills to the next level.

The World of Trading (WoT) will take place on 2 days from Friday, 07. November to Saturday, 08. November 2025 in Frankfurt.
