A new expert-led conference programme for 2026
The newest edition of EuroBLECH will feature a dedicated conference-style programme on the NextGen Technology Stage in Hall 27, with access to all sessions included in the exhibition ticket. Industry experts, innovators, and technology leaders will be the direct interlocutors for visitors: they will hear about technologies and pressures reshaping sheet metal working, from AI, automation, and smart manufacturing to sustainability, energy efficiency, circular production, and workforce development.
Sessions will follow practical questions to manufacturers on what they face today, including how to make smart production deliver real value, where AI is already in use, how to reduce waste and energy intensity, and how suppliers can respond to changing buyer expectations.
EuroBLECH will also host the BME Buyer Day on Thursday 22 October in the Convention Centre. The event, organised with Bundesverband Materialwirtschaft, Einkauf und Logistik (BME), will feature networking, presentations and panel discussions on purchasing KPIs, supply chain management, steel market developments, economic security, CBAM and AI-supported product costing.
Plan your visit, review exhibitor information, identify relevant technologies, explore conference sessions and prepare for a focused four days in Hanover.
