HPI Summer Party 2026 | Hasso-Plattner-Institut

Traditionally, we wrap up the semester with our HPI Summer Party on the last Friday of the lecture period – the perfect moment to say “thank you” together and celebrate our achievements. On July 24, 2026, it’s that time again: look forward to the summer party as the crowning finale of the semester and the perfect start to the semester break. HPI warmly invites all students, alumni, and staff to enjoy the summer and celebrate the highlights of the past year.

A diverse program awaits guests of all ages – alongside our traditional sports tournaments and varied fun games, our food trucks will invite you to explore a range of culinary delights. Musically, the program will feature Paula Carolina, energetic live DJs, and talented HPI bands who will ensure a fantastic atmosphere.

We look forward to celebrating an unforgettable HPI Summer Party with you!

Alumni Beer Garden

For our alumni, there will once again be a dedicated meeting point this year: The Alumni Biergarten brings the HPI Alumni Network to life – offering plenty of opportunities to reconnect with familiar faces, make new connections, and exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere.

Important: Registration as an alumnus/alumna is required for access to the Alumni Biergarten.
