The three-day digital congress highlights current developments around sustainable building
Sustainable building means diversity – diversity of opportunities, perspectives and people. This very diversity takes centre stage at our digital annual congress. The event regularly takes stock of where we stand on sustainable building and explores promising paths towards a sustainable future for the construction and real estate sector. Over the years, the DGNB Annual Congress has become one of the year's highlights when it comes to unpacking the complexity of sustainable building and examining it in detail.
In 2026, the DGNB will host the congress for the fifth time – featuring a first: an international day. This additional day will be dedicated entirely to international perspectives on sustainability, climate action and ESG in construction.
When: 3–5 March 2026
Where: Online
