Based on the great reception of the Expert Forum in 2016 and 2018, the participants this year will provide even more meaningful insights into success factors and trends in the future-oriented design of production networks.

In various keynote speeches and discussions, high-ranking industry representatives enable an efficient and realistic exchange of knowledge. Through an inherent focus on best practice examples and relevant methods, complex topics of production management are made tangible. In addition, the expert forum promotes the exchange of participants and specialists by providing space for topic-specific networking opportunities.

Interested parties are cordially invited to use the expert forum to exchange experiences and knowledge as well as to critically examine their own production network, identify underutilized potential and find out about current trends in the global production environment. The event will take place in the Hotel Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin in Stuttgart in compliance with a security concept. There is also the option of taking part in the event virtually at a reduced price.
