CHIO Aachen 2025: The sporting event for everyone – tradition meets innovation!
A highlight of the equestrian world is just around the corner in Aachen: The CHIO (Concours Hippique International Officiel) will open its doors for the 101st time on June 27, 2025. The renowned equestrian tournament has established itself as a symbol of accomplished sporting events and attracts both top athletes and thousands of visitors year after year. RP Online reports on the anticipation of the organizers, who are coming up with new ideas and high standards of quality this year.
Birgit Rosenberg, head of sports at the CHIO, made it clear in a conversation that the team is always looking for opportunities for improvement. “It takes hard work to keep the event at the highest level,” she emphasizes. With sponsors such as Rolex, Mercedes-Benz and Turkey Airlines, the CHIO succeeds in presenting itself not only as a high-society event, but also as a folk festival for everyone. Standing room tickets are available from just 11 euros - a price that is intended to attract many visitors.
Innovative formats and conference-packed times
As part of the CHIO, the “chiotec” event will also take place on July 2, 2025. Top-class speakers such as Julia Klöckner and Dr. Karsten Wildberger expects to discuss sustainable and efficient solutions for the future. The organizers are the Real Reactions Company, RWTH Aachen and the CHIO Aachen CAMPUS. The congress offers exciting insights and innovation approaches that go far beyond equestrian sports - an opportunity that no one should miss. The official site also provides all the information you need to take part in this event.
Another point that concerns the organizers is the potential for a glossy documentary, perhaps even on Netflix. This innovative approach could help to make the CHIO even better known without having to move away from its traditions. “We want to maintain our level without feeling like we are being controlled by others,” explains Rosenberg. The CHIO could even function as preparation for a possible Olympics, even if it continues to function perfectly without this perspective.
Opportunities and careers in sports management
In this context, you can also take a look at possible career paths: The master's program in “Sports and Event Management” at the FH Joanneum offers in-depth training in exactly these areas. The interdisciplinary approach combines sports, event and business topics and prepares students for the challenges in this dynamic field. The practical application is supported by research projects and practical case studies, which gives graduates access to a wide range of professional fields. Information about the studies Anyone interested can find it on the University of Applied Sciences website.
We are eagerly awaiting the coming days in Aachen. The CHIO promises not only top sporting performances, but also interesting discussions and networking opportunities for the future stars of event management. It remains to be seen what new impulses and ideas will arise from this combination - one thing is certain: there is something there!
