SPE Annual Dinner 2026

The SPE Annual Dinner will be held on Tuesday 22 September at the Institute of Directors. The evening will commence with a Drinks Reception at 6.30pm followed by a sit-down dinner at 7.00pm.

We are honoured and delighted that this year’s guest speaker will be Dr Joachim Nagel, president of the Deutsche Bundesbank and a member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank.

Dr Nagel has been President of the Deutsche Bundesbank since January 2022. Prior to this, he had already served in various management positions at the Bundesbank from 1999 to 2016, including as an Executive Board member from 2010 whose responsibilities included the Directorates General Markets, Controlling and IT. Between 2008 and 2016, he also headed up the Bundesbank’s financial crisis task force. Joachim Nagel worked for the KfW Group from 2016 to 2020, initially serving one year as General Manager before becoming a member of its Executive Board, in which capacity he oversaw foreign credit business and development cooperation. In 2020, he moved to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) where he became Deputy Head of the Banking Department. Joachim Nagel studied economics at the University of Karlsruhe from 1985 to 1991 and received a doctoral degree in 1997. He has been an honorary professor at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW) since 2017. Alongside his role as President of the Bundesbank, Joachim Nagel serves as a member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank, a Governor at the International Monetary Fund and a member of the BIS Board of Directors.

Generously sponsored by Oxford Economics, the Annual Dinner is an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new contacts, and of course to entertain clients.
