Review of the WINPACCS Customer Day 2025
On 5 November 2025 the 10th WINPACCS Customer Day took place. The event offered participants on-site in Wetzlar and online a comprehensive insight into new and improved functions of the software as well as a preview of the upcoming WINPACCS Financial Accounting.
We are grateful that Gabriele Kleinen-Rätz took us through WINPACCS Programme Management in practical operation at the DGRV, Stephan Krämer gave us insights into real-world use cases of Management Dashboards based on his practical experience at Vision Hope International, and Kostiantyn Nenakhov, who travelled from Kyiv, reported on project controlling in practice at HELP in Ukraine.
The day also provided ample space for professional exchange, discussions and networking.
The next Customer Day is scheduled for Wednesday, 4 November 2026. On the previous day the WINPACCS Symposium is planned, which only takes place every two years.

Venue
Located in the heart of the state Hessen in central Germany, Wetzlar straddles the river Lahn a mere 30 miles north of Frankfurt. Having been an economic and cultural hub of the region since medieval times, it is now most famous for its optics industry and its association with German national poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. With a population of just over 50,000 people, Wetzlar remains a favourite among visitors attracted not just by its historic old town and cathedral, but also its beautiful surroundings along the Lahn valley.
For more details, visit Wetzlar at www.wetzlar.de and www.wetzlar-kongress.de.
The WINPACCS Customer day will take place in the conference rooms of Wetzlarer Hof hotel and the nearby town hall Stadthalle. With its stunning view of the old town and inviting atmosphere, this venue is the perfect place to host the classic WINPACCS event. Bright rooms, modern equipment and the unique location are sure to make this a memorable day for all participants.
