The DFV Symposium brings the German skydiving community together for three days of safety discussions, professional education, technical sessions, workshops, networking and the annual DFV Association Day.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

The Deutscher Fallschirmsportverband will hold its annual DFV Symposium and Association Day from 13–15 November 2026 in Schweinfurt, Germany.

The meeting focuses on improving safety through accident analysis and preventive measures, advancing skydiver and instructor education, encouraging cooperation between specialist committees and helping shape the future of indoor and outdoor skydiving.

The symposium is intended for:

  • Licensed skydivers and DFV members
  • AFF and tandem examiners and examiner candidates
  • Instructors, tandem pilots and coaches
  • Parachute riggers and technical personnel
  • Athletes, judges and performance-sport representatives
  • Drop zone and wind-tunnel operators
  • DFV delegates and committee members

Friday’s program includes separate conferences for AFF examiners and tandem examiners, technical continuing education and the first symposium workshops and presentations. Saturday is dedicated to workshops and lectures covering training, parachute equipment, sport skydiving, aviation safety, coaching, judging, records and related topics. The DFV delegates’ meeting concludes the event on Sunday. Freifall Xpress

Participants must register separately for each program block they wish to attend:

  • AFF Examiner Conference
  • Tandem Examiner Conference
  • Technical Personnel Training
  • Friday DFV Symposium
  • Saturday DFV Symposium
  • Saturday evening buffet
  • Sunday DFV Association Day

Saturday’s symposium is recognized as a continuing-education event for the renewal of German instructor privileges.
