IAP International Associate Program 2026
Private Clients

Dear IAP 2026 Participants,

The IAP Private Clients 2026 is about to start, and we cannot wait to welcome all of you in Frankfurt!

The preparations are almost finished and everything is set. Thanks very much for each and every one of you for participating so actively in the preparation of the case studies and panels. We really look forward to hearing all your international perspectives in this year’s panels and case studies.

This year, the event features 56 participants from 23 countries. We are also happy that J.P. Morgan will participate to enrich the event from a banking perspective as well as Julian Washington from Sotheby’s, who will share valuable insights on the intersection of art and taxation.

Besides the technical parts, we have made sure that Frankfurt’s culture will take its rightful place in the social part of the event - Look forward to dinner on Thursday at Occhio d’Oro, with what is probably the most beautiful view in all of Frankfurt. On Friday, a scavenger hunt through the city awaits you, followed by dinner together at one of Frankfurt’s oldest and most famous wine taverns.

If there are any open questions, feel free to reach out to any of us or to our event team (Hannah Lecheler, copied)!

Have a safe trip to Frankfurt everyone!
