DRG|FORUM 2027 (Der Klinik-Kongress) is a two-day congress for hospital managers and healthcare decision-makers, run by Bibliomed Medizinische Verlagsgesellschaft mbH on 4 and 5 March 2027 at ECC Berlin, inside the Estrel complex. The organiser states that more than 3,000 hospital managers and decision-makers from politics, business, associations and science attend each year.
DRG|FORUM 2027 runs Thursday and Friday, 4 and 5 March, at ECC Berlin. As of 30 September 2026, the organiser has not published 2027 session times or the full programme. The homepage confirms the Ambulantisierung track continues, and a Networking Night closes day one with, in the organiser's words, good conversation and a festive programme. The organiser describes Networking Night places as limited and usually sold out months ahead.
The organiser names partner associations such as the GKV-Spitzenverband, DKG, BDPK and VKD with their own programme content, and past editions presented the Vordenker Award at the congress. Check the organiser's programme page and ticket page nearer the date for the confirmed 2027 schedule.
Prices for DRG|FORUM 2027 are not published yet, as of 30 September 2026. Two discounts are confirmed for this edition: f&w subscribers save more than 10%, and Traineetickets cost 50% of the standard price. Check the organiser's ticket page for the 2027 prices once released.
If your trip also covers AM Forum 2027, held 2 to 3 March at the same Estrel complex, book one flexible stay that spans both congresses. Habyt Berlin Waterfront offers free cancellation and a flexible stay, so a change of plans between the two events does not leave you stuck with a booking.
Pack for the season: the historical average for 4 to 5 March is 0 to 9 degrees C, with rain on about 1 day in 10, so a warm coat matters more than a rain jacket.
The organiser says the Zimmerkontingent at the Estrel Hotel tends to sell out early. Habyt Berlin Waterfront, booked direct with free cancellation, is an alternative one train ride from the venue.
If you are travelling by train, check the new Bahnrabatt for DRG|FORUM 2027 registrants before you book.
Between the two dense congress days, step into the courtyard at Habyt Berlin Waterfront on the March evening for fresh air before day two.
Use the coworking space after the Networking Night, or before an early Friday start, to go through notes or prepare a follow-up.
The leisure areas work well for an informal debrief with contacts from the exhibition before the second day starts.
The fully equipped kitchens, including shared kitchens, let you make your own breakfast before an early departure to ECC Berlin.
ECC Berlin, inside the Estrel complex at Sonnenallee 225, is about 3.3 km from Habyt Berlin Waterfront in a straight line, both on the eastern side of the S-Bahn ring. A live BVG journey query puts the trip at about 15 to 20 minutes door to door: walk about 6 minutes to S Ostkreuz, take the S41 Ringbahn to S Sonnenallee with no change, then walk about 4 minutes to the venue. Live departures: sbahn.berlin. Source: live BVG journey query, 30 September 2026; venue access: estrel.com.
Habyt Berlin Waterfront does not list parking among its amenities, so plan the S41 for both legs. At the venue, Estrel's own underground garage on Ziegrastraße has 450 spaces, currently reduced by construction work. The day rate from 8 hours is 25 EUR; shorter stays cost less.

Historical average for 4 to 5 March (2016 to 2025): 0 to 9 degrees C, rain on 2 of 20 days observed (Open-Meteo historical data). Pack a warm coat and layers; rain gear is rarely needed on these dates.
Habyt Berlin Waterfront sits by the Rummelsburger See in Friedrichshain, one S41 train and about 15 to 20 minutes from ECC Berlin. Free cancellation and a flexible stay mean that a trip that also covers AM Forum the same week, or a schedule that shifts, does not put your booking at risk. Fully equipped kitchens and the coworking space give you a quiet base between two dense congress days, and the courtyard offers fresh air. The Urban Studio suits a short business stay; the Bay Studio adds a lake view. More events: Berlin business events.
