As AI changes the industry, new answers and real experience are essential. That’s why we bring together users and providers from the industry: for a practical, open, and controversial exchange on technological advances and specific applications in automation. We invite you to join us live for the premiere of our Industrial Technology Summit with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
This brand-new knowledge and networking format brings together leading minds from the industry on 21 – 22 May 2025, in Stuttgart – for a transparent, forward-looking exchange on the use of AI and machine learning.
Not theory, but practice. Not vision, but application. That is the core of our Summit.
We want to explore the beneficial use of technologies in automation – with a central question in mind: When do AI and ML offer real value and when might other technologies be a better fit? What does all this mean for employees, leaders, and the way organizations are structured? That too is a conversation we need to have together.
Important Note: The event will be held in German.
