Formnext 2024 seeks speakers for its popular multi-stage presentation programme
April 24, 2024
Following the successful debut of a multi-stage programme at last year’s Formnext, event organiser Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH has announced a Call for Speakers for this year’s event. Scheduled to be held November 19-22, 2024, in Frankfurt, Germany, the key topics of focus at the Application, Industry, and Technology Stages will include Artificial Intelligence in Additive Manufacturing, medical and dental technology, robotics, and automation.
Formnext’s multi-stage presentation programme is open to all and designed to encourage everyone to share their knowledge of technologies and applications in the industrial production sector.
Sascha F Wenzler, Vice President for Formnext at Mesago Messe Frankfurt, shared, “We’re now looking to expand and sharpen the focus of our subject line-up so that AM can catch on in lots of other application areas.”
The Application Stage will present examples of how AM is being used in specific industries. Mechanical and plant engineering, the automotive or aerospace industries, electronics, packaging, tool and mold making, automation, and robotics are just a few of the leading subjects on the agenda. Applications from the realms of medical technology and dentistry will also be a topic of focus this year.
Meanwhile, the Industry Stage will allow industrial experts and insiders to share their thoughts on the issues shaping AM at the moment, such as sustainability and the industrialisation of AM. These and other subjects will be introduced in keynotes, explored in greater detail in ‘Expert Insights’ sessions, and discussed further in panels. Also set for the Industry Stage are areas like AI and the industrial metaverse, DfAM (Designed for AM), business opportunities, start-ups and funding, and current meta-topics such as data management and security, emerging technologies, the skilled worker shortage, and supply chain resilience.
Finally, Formnext exhibitors will bring innovations and solutions to the Technology Stage. Every day of the event will showcase the latest breakthroughs in software and digitalisation, materials, AM systems, ancillary process systems, quality management, measurement technology, and services.
The Call for Speakers is now open. Proposals can be submitted via this link no later than June 30, 2024.
