GATE FUTURE 2026 takes place right inside Hamburg Airport – at the Top Deck and Airport Conference Center, where the industry the conference convenes surrounds you.
This year GATE FUTURE moves right into the terminal. The Top Deck and the Airport Conference Center sit above the departure hall of Hamburg Airport – the perfect stage for high-level exchange, meaningful networking, and forward-looking conversations, with live operations unfolding below.
The choice is no coincidence: as one of Germany's largest civil aviation hubs – home to Lufthansa Technik and a stone's throw from Airbus – the venue itself embodies the industry the conference convenes.
The venue is inside Hamburg Airport (HAM) itself. Arrive by air and the Top Deck & Airport Conference Center are just a few minutes' walk from the gates – no transfer required.
S-Bahn line S1 runs directly to Hamburg Airport (Flughafen) station in the terminal – roughly 25 minutes from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, no changes.
Hamburg Airport is reached via the A7 and B433. Multi-storey car parks P1–P8 sit directly at the terminal, steps from the venue entrance.
