The TUM Speakers Series – Leaders and Shapers is a series of guest lectures at the Technische Universität München, which is held by high-profile speakers from key positions in business, science and politics. Since our foundation in the year 1999, we have been able to welcome more than 80 speakers following the motto "from students for students". The initiative is supported by its patron, Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann, President of the TU Munich, and by Prof. Gunther Friedl, Dean of the TUM School of Management. As an initiative of the TUM Business Club e.V., the TUM Speakers Series is organized by student volunteers from several departments at our university. Thanks to the commitment of every single member of the organizational team and the support of our university and department, the TUM Speakers Series enjoys a high reputation and is able to reach a large audience.
