Forums speakers 2024
Automotive Forum
The share of electronics and software in automotive value creation is growing rapidly. Key trends such as active safety, autonomous driving, connectivity and infotainment are driven by electronics. The Automotive Forum provides practical insights into current developments and is aimed at specialists and managers from the automotive sector.
Batteries Forum
Batteries are considered a key technology for achieving global CO2 reduction targets. Capacity, charging times and thermal safety are of crucial importance. Experts from cell manufacturers, assemblers, processors and users will provide an overview of current and future battery technologies.
Circular Economy Forum
The electronics industry is faced with the urgent task of developing future-proof solutions to promote the transition to a circular economy and minimise environmental impacts. This is particularly evident at electronica: circular economy strategies are crucial to reducing the growing volume of electronic waste (e-waste).
Cyber Security Forum
With digital networking, the risk of cyberattacks increases. The dramatic increase in attempted and successful attacks on companies, authorities and infrastructure underlines the relevance of professional security solutions. The Cyber Security Forum: Practice-oriented exchange of development approaches and solutions for a holistic cybersecurity culture.
Electrical Connectors Forum
The Electrical Connectors Forum puts the focus on the physical data and lines of communication that enable connectivity in the Internet of Things (IoT) and in the fully networked IIoT process worlds of Industry 4.0. The target group of the application-oriented lecture program are developers and specialists from user industries.
electronica Fast Forward Forum
At the Fast Forward start-up platform from electronica and Elektor, an exclusive selection of up-and-coming start-ups and scale-ups will take advantage of the unique opportunity to present their highly innovative technologies and business ideas to the trade audience of our world's leading trade fair. Use the forum as a trend barometer—there are already several international success stories that started here.
Embedded Platforms Forum
Hardware and software developers, system designers, product managers, development managers, and device and system manufacturers will find a place to share expertise and discuss challenges and solutions in the field of embedded systems.
Embedded Systems Forum
The world has witnessed explosive interest and growth in generative AI and continuously connected intelligent devices. This has led to significant advances in all aspects of embedded systems. The Embedded Systems Forum will explore these trends.
Industrial Control Forum
The Industrial Control Forum is dedicated to mechanical engineering and automation. The forum enables professional exchange and open discussion of challenges and solutions for industrial control systems.
IIoT Forum: AI / Machine Learning, 5G & Edge Computing
Digitally networked machines and processes create access to a new raw material: data. The IIoT and AI/Machine Learning forum will focus on mining, collating and refining raw data. It is about huge potentials for efficiency increases, climate protection, but also for the personalization of industrially manufactured products.
Measurement Technology Forum
Measurement technology and sensors are the backbone of modern manufacturing processes. They provide the data basis for every optimization and ensure the highest quality via inline inspection, even in highly miniaturized and very fast processes. The Measurement Technology Forum brings together specialists and experts from the user industries and provides in-depth insights into current technical developments and the most important future trends in electrical measurement technology.
5th Obsolescence Day
The sudden unavailability of key components that are essential to the production or repair of long-lived equipment, machinery and devices can have far-reaching economic consequences for affected companies. Obsolescence affects not only electronic components, but increasingly printed circuit board materials, auxiliary materials, software tools, and more.
PCB & Components Marketplace
The PCB & Components Marketplace is one of the most important meeting places for the PCB, components and EMS industry and brings together application-related innovations and further developments from this field of technology every two years. If you are interested in a comprehensive exchange of experience and practical technical information, this is the right place for you—and you will meet highly experienced developers, engineers, decision-makers as well as technical editors and students.
Power Electronics Forum
The transformation of our energy systems goes hand in hand with an extensive switch from storable fossil fuels to volatile renewable energies. A key technology for this electrification in the stationary sector and in mobility is power electronics. It is the focus of the Power Electronics Forum, which will feature keynotes from top experts, panel discussions and technical presentations to provide application-oriented know-how on the development, production and application of these power components.
Printed Electronics Forum by LOPEC
Thanks to continuous further development, flexible, organic and printed electronics are increasingly succeeding in fulfilling their promise for the future—in economic terms as well. The Printed Electronics Forum, organized by the LOPEC trade show and the Organic and Printed Electronics Association (OE-A), provides technical background and updates and presents practical applications of this highly flexible technology in lectures and seminars.
Women in Tech Forum
Women in Tech Forum: designed to explore critical insights, challenges, and strategies related to gender diversity in the technology sector. Don't miss this opportunity to engage in a meaningful dialogue shaping the future of women in technology.
