Autumn
2026
In recent years, we’ve been carefully listening to feedback from our participants and partners. We’ve realized that combining the EVENT VISION conference and the EVENT EXPO trade fair into a single day no longer allows both formats to reach their full potential.
EVENT EXPO has grown into such an inspiring and attractive space with a rich program and workshops that it deserves the full attention of visitors. That’s why we’ve decided to move the EVENT VISION conference to autumn 2026 — to allow participants to fully experience both the inspiring conference and the expo, without time pressure or compromises.
