ILF Palm Garden Challenge 2026: Teamwork, Sunshine and New Friendships
On 14 October 2026, our new students of ILF took part in the ILF Palm Garden (Palmengarten) Challenge. Under a sunny sky, 60 students from around the world formed ten international teams, each named after a world financial center, and participated in an afternoon of exploring, competing and bonding!
The evening continued in the House of Finance with a reception for all. Students of the Class of 2027 were joined by selected alumni, lecturers and other friends of the ILF. Many good discussions took place , many new friendships were formed and social/working networks were expanded during the evening!
