The 2026 Frankfurt Drink
An evening with NL-ix
The Internet runs on infrastructure — but it grows on relationships.
An evening with NL-ix, Frankfurt is about bringing together the people behind the networks: carriers, cloud providers, IX partners, datacenters, content networks and enterprises. The engineers, strategists and decision-makers shaping the next phase of Europe’s digital infrastructure.
This year, we gather at Gibson Beach Club — in the heart of Frankfurt, one of Europe’s most important interconnection hubs.
A fitting location, as Germany continues to play a central role in Europe’s digital infrastructure. With our established presence in Frankfurt and the recent launch of our new Munich Metro, NL-ix is further strengthening its German footprint — expanding our distributed interconnection platform and reinforcing our role in Europe’s digital backbone.
Frankfurt connects the continent.
Munich adds new regional depth.
Together, they reflect how NL-ix continues to build a resilient, neutral interconnection layer across Europe.
As NL-ix moves into its 25th year, this expansion marks not only growth, but momentum — building on 25 years of interconnection expertise while preparing for the next phase of Europe’s digital evolution.
