SMART REBEL CONVENTION 2026

Ten days.One region.One finale.

Europe is not explored from a single stage. It is explored on the move.

From 23 October to 1 November 2026, the Smart Rebel Convention moves through the Rhine-Main region: an opening, an expedition through Europe's universities, institutions, laboratories and stages, and a closing family brunch. It ends where everything comes together: at the International Space Assembly at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management on 31 October.
