ITIL Version 5 Launch Event in Bad Homburg on February 26, 2026
What to expect at the ITIL Version 5 launch event
With the launch event for ITIL Version 5 on February 26, 2026, in Bad Homburg near Frankfurt am Main, we will be providing in-depth insight into the next evolutionary stage of service management for the first time. The associated training courses are already available and can be booked independently of the event. Experience ITIL as it was intended: structured, practical, and consistently aligned with the reality of modern organizations.
Discover all ITIL Version 5 training courses!
This event is not a traditional training course or a pure product presentation. It is an orientation. You will gain a clear understanding of what has really changed with ITIL Version 5 – in terms of content, application, and the way service management will be conceived, controlled, and implemented in the future.
The focus is on real-world application examples, new ways of thinking, and the question of how ITIL Version 5 helps organizations to link responsibility, value creation, and customer experience even more closely.
The launch event will take place at the SERVIEW Pub in authentic English style—a deliberately chosen setting that does justice to the origins of ITIL and is worthy of our English friends who developed and shaped ITIL in the 1980s.
The event will be held in close cooperation with the official rights holder PeopleCert, who will be present in person and will provide exclusive insights and official perspectives on ITIL Version 5.
As a special highlight, each participant will receive a printed copy of the new official ITIL Version 5 book to take home, refer to, and continue working with.
What you can expect:
- Comprehensible classification of the key innovations in ITIL Version 5
- Practical examples from real projects and organizations
- Official first-hand information – together with the rights holder
- Personal exchange with experienced trainers and other participants
- Presentation of the new ITIL Version 5 book in print format to all participants
This launch event is aimed at anyone who wants to actively shape service management rather than just administer it—and who wants to understand early on what opportunities ITIL Version 5 opens up for organizations and for their own careers.
Participate exclusively and free of charge!

A special atmosphere – the ITIL Version 5 launch event in our Library & Pub
The ITIL Version 5 Launch Party will take place in our unique SERVIEW Library & Pub in Bad Homburg—a place where the history, attitude, and present of service management come together in a tangible way. Designed in a British-inspired style, with fine wood, warm lighting, and a classic pub atmosphere, this location offers the perfect setting for exchange, encounters, and celebration.
We are deliberately drawing on the British roots of ITIL. Developed in the United Kingdom in the 1980s, ITIL has shaped the world of IT service management from here. We honor these origins in a place that does justice to our English friends—authentic, respectful, and stylish.
In this special setting, we are celebrating not only the launch of ITIL Version 5, but also the further development of a standard that has been reinvented time and again over decades and is now more relevant than ever.
What makes this frame special:
- Authentic British ambience in the SERVIEW Library & Pub
- Appreciation of the British origins of ITIL
- Ideal setting for exchange, inspiration, and networking
- Tradition and innovation combined – compatible with ITIL Version 5
